tcpreplay

Hi..

I want to use tcpreplay with packet sending rate 400Mbps.
this tools have --Mbps option sending rate.
but when I set it to for example 400Mbps , after sending packet and in the report of tools, the packet rate sending is different (such as attachments screenshot).
may you help me?

thanks..

This is a stab in the dark as I have no experience with tcpreplay, but reading the tcpreplay man pages for --mbps (-M) option, it says

Quote:

"Specify a floating point value for the Mbps rate that tcpreplay should send packets at."

So you might try 400.0, rather than 400

EDIT: Scratch that. Just did a little testing and that made no difference.

I've only skimmed it, however, you might find this helpful

EDIT #2: I've been playing around with tcpreplay a bit. Are you trying to run this command on your currently connected interface? I believe you need one that is not being used. I tried this on a secondary usb wireless dongle and the -M option works as expected.

tcpreplay -i wlp0s20u1 -K -M 400 ~/test.pcap
