pktgen

什么是 pktgen

pktgen 是一款 Linux 发包工具,可在内核高速发包。

Linux packet generator is a tool to generate packets at very high speed in the kernel.

使能 pktgen

内核配置文件开启 CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN,通过查看是否有 /proc/net/pktgen/ 目录确认是否编译 OK。

使用 pktgen 发包

  • 添加设备
1
echo "add_device eth3" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
  • 配置报文
    配置方法,样例仅给出部分配置

    echo "pkt_size 64" > /proc/net/pktgen/eth3
    echo "count 1000000" > /proc/net/pktgen/eth3
    echo "dst_mac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" > /proc/net/pktgen/eth3

查看配置结果:

1
cat /proc/net/pktgen/eth3

  • 发送报文
1
echo "start" > /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl

查看发送结果:

1
cat /proc/net/pktgen/eth3

完整说明

From linuxfoundation.org pktgen

Setup

Enable CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN to compile and build pktgen.o either in kernel or as module. Module is preferred. insmod pktgen if needed. Once running pktgen creates a thread on each CPU where each thread has affinty it’s CPU. Monitoring and controlling is done via /proc. Easiest to select a suitable a sample script and configure.

On a dual CPU:

1
2
3
ps aux | grep pkt
root 129 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 523:20 [pktgen/0]
root 130 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 509:50 [pktgen/1]

For montoring and control pktgen creates:

  • /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
  • /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_X

    # cat /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 
    Name: kpktgend_0 max_before_softirq: 10000
    Running:
    Stopped: eth1
    Result: OK: max_before_softirq=10000

Most important the devices assigned to thread. Note! A device can only belong to one thread.

pgset "clone_skb 1"     sets the number of copies of the same packet
pgset "clone_skb 0" use single SKB for all transmits
pgset "pkt_size 9014" sets packet size to 9014
pgset "frags 5" packet will consist of 5 fragments
pgset "count 200000" sets number of packets to send, set to zero
for continious sends untill explicitl stopped.
pgset "delay 5000" adds delay to hard_start_xmit(). nanoseconds
pgset "dst 10.0.0.1" sets IP destination addres
(BEWARE! This generator is very aggressive!)
pgset "dst_min 10.0.0.1" Same as dst
pgset "dst_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum destination IP.
pgset "src_min 10.0.0.1" Set the minimum (or only) source IP.
pgset "src_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum source IP.
pgset "dst6 fec0::1" IPV6 destination address
pgset "src6 fec0::2" IPV6 source address
pgset "dstmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC destination address
pgset "srcmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC source address
pgset "src_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through.
The 'minimum' MAC is what you set with srcmac.
pgset "dst_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through.
The 'minimum' MAC is what you set with dstmac.
pgset "flag [name]" Set a flag to determine behaviour. Current flags
are: IPSRC_RND #IP Source is random (between min/max),
IPDST_RND, UDPSRC_RND,
UDPDST_RND, MACSRC_RND, MACDST_RND
pgset "udp_src_min 9" set UDP source port min, If < udp_src_max, then
cycle through the port range.
pgset "udp_src_max 9" set UDP source port max.
pgset "udp_dst_min 9" set UDP destination port min, If < udp_dst_max, then
cycle through the port range.
pgset "udp_dst_max 9" set UDP destination port max.
pgset stop aborts injection. Also, ^C aborts generator.

Examples

A collection of small tutorial scripts for pktgen is in expamples dir.

  • pktgen.conf-1-1 # 1 CPU 1 dev
  • pktgen.conf-1-2 # 1 CPU 2 dev
  • pktgen.conf-2-1 # 2 CPU’s 1 dev
  • pktgen.conf-2-2 # 2 CPU’s 2 dev
  • pktgen.conf-1-1-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev w. route DoS
  • pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6 # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6
  • pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6 w. route DoS
  • pktgen.conf-1-1-flows # 1 CPU 1 dev multiple flows.
    Run in shell: ./pktgen.conf-X-Y It does all the setup including sending.

Interrupt affinity

Note when adding devices to a specific CPU there good idea to also assign /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity so the TX-interrupts gets bound to the same CPU. as this reduces cache bouncing when freeing skb’s.
