Packet generator revision history

Change log

Version 1.1.1
(Jun 15, 2010)

  Major changes:
* Make compatible with the NetFPGA 2.1.1 base release

  Bug fixes:
* Allow 10kbps deviation from desired rate in rate limiter regression test


Version 1.1.0
(Apr 16, 2010)

  Improvements:
* Supports loading of headers only into SRAM. Packets can be padded upon
     tranmission to a per-packet-specified length.
* Received packets dropped by default on ports not being captured.
     (Necessary when transmitting and receiving at maximum data rate on all
     four ports to overcome limitation in output queues.)
* Enable capturing without transmission.

  Bug fixes:
* Fix usec calculation when run in nanoseconds mode


Version 1.0.3
(Aug 20, 2009)
  Updated to use the new NetFPGA 2.0 register system


Version 1.0.2
(Jan 20, 2009)

  Wait option added to simplify synchronization with multiple pkt generators

  Packet capture bug fixed
   - Some headers were left on packets

  Transmit/receive queue sizes allocated based on PCAP files being transmitted


Version 1.0.1
(Dec 2, 2008)

  Included regression tests in release


Version 1.0 beta
(Aug 27, 2007)

  Initial preview release

Previous versions

NetFPGA package requirement :

2.1.0 pre-release

1.0.3

Known issues : i

A problem with the output queues prevents the packet generator from simultaneously generating and receiving traffic on all four ports at 4 Gbps. A version of the bitfile that fixes this can be obtained from: http://yuba.stanford.edu/~grg/packet_generator.bit Note that this version will not pass any packets up to the host.
