C++, Qt5, libpcap, AF_XDP
it just does the job! great support from the creator as well.
As a novice to networking protocol, I was able to understand the protocols much better with the help of Ostinato Traffic generator. With wide options to explore and support to use the same thing with python helped me and my team in understanding & testing of different protocols. Especially response from Srivats for the queries helped me step custom streams for my application.
I used Ostinato a couple years back at a different company and loved it then. Now, at a new company, purchased a new license for it and am still impressed. Super user friendly and intuitive, the creator reaches out after you buy and offers awesome support/tutorial videos.
Network engineers, this is the app to test storm control, packet rate limits, and any other feature you need to test. Also replay wireshark packet captures. So awesome.
