Chair for Network Architectures and Services Technical University of Munich (TUM) Design goals Design goal of MoonGen Combine the advantages of software (cheap, flexible) and hardware (precise, accurate) packet generators. ◮ Fast: DPDK for packet I/O, explicit multi-core support ◮ Flexible: Craft all packets in user-controller Lua scripts ◮ Timestamping: Utilize hardware features found on modern commodity NICs ◮ Rate control: Hardware features and a novel software approach Sebastian Gallenm¨ uller – MoonGen: A Scriptable High-Speed Packet Generator 2
