flowgen

Code modified from the original of Motonori Shindo in https://github.com/mshindo/NetFlow-Generator.

The purpose of the modifications were done to use flowgen to scale test netflow collectors, such as pmacct.

Please read the original repository for instructions.

Changes

  • Added two extra ways of defining values for flow characteristics:
    • Using a comma (,) for defining a list of values.
    • Using %%file[line] to define a file and a line from which the number specification should be read.
  • Added an option to specify a local IP (localipadd) from which packets should be originated.
  • Added an option to not print flow generation report.

In this repo, one can find a python script that generates specific calls to flowgen for simulating traffic from a larger, random, network.
