THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. DO NOT PANIC UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE CAPTAIN OR A MEMBER OF THE CREW
Introduction
The traffic generator working group is an adhoc, interdisciplinary working group focused on addressing the challenges of traffic generation, particularly as it relates to the challenges of test automation. It is not currently an approved OPNVF project nor is there a proposal planned at this time.
Problem Definition
The need for traffic generation is an implicit requirement for testing in OPNFV. Unfortunately there is no standard mechanism defined to support this, leaving each project to develop its own strategy. The challenge is further complicated by the fact that the various PODs are not necessarily consistent and may ( or may not ) have one or more traffic generators installed.
The problem is further complicated by the installation and configuration of required packages for managing external devices.
