Application Note
OVERVIEW
Traffic replay is a traditional and effective technique used to emulate real word traffic.
Since the recorded traffic used for replay has various protocols, packet sizes, Inter
Frame Gap (IFG), Inter Burst Gap (IBG). Recorded traffic has been used for ages to
reproduce customer issues in the lab.
There are a lot of open source replay tools available e.g. Tcpreplay, tcpliveplay, Trex
and tons of very expensive FPGA based commercial tools.
But still QA Engineers and Network Engineers find it a nightmare to replay voluminous
network capture they receive from their customers to replicate crash or bug in the lab.
Following are the challenges faced by QA and Network Engineers with Open source
Traffic Replay Tools
Why Aticara?
We are completely software based which can be installed on popular hypervisors on
commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware. It can replay large size pcap with thousands
of flows, empowering QA engineers to replicate customer issues in the lab quickly.
Aticara can also be used for amplifying a single flow into millions of flows to load test of
the DUT.
