Generating Traffic Using Armageddon

1. Go to the Port Manager and select ports eth2 and eth3
2. Modify ports eth2 and eth3:
   1. In this example, eth2 and eth3 are physically connected with a patch cable
3. Configure each port with a valid IP address, then click OK

For more information see LANforge User's Guide: Ports (Interfaces)

1. On the Armageddon tab, click the Create button
2. Enter a CX Name, select ports eth2 and eth3, then enter the speed and packet size for both endpoints
   1. For this example, 10000pps at 1514byte packet size should generate about 121Mbps
   2. Click OK when finished
3. Verify that the Armageddon connection is created

1. Select the Armageddon connection then click Start
2. It will take a moment for the Armageddon traffic to stabilize. Depending on the hardware, LANforge will settle on an actual rate which may differ from the requested rate.
3. In this example, this system (1.8GHz Intel Atom D525, 6 onboard 10/100/1000 ports) is capable of reaching 81,000pps with 1514byte packets or, an equivalent speed of about 990-1005Mbps bi-directional.
   1. NOTE: Delay for Armageddon connections is measured in microseconds (us) and in this example, the system experiences about 39us of delay when sending to itself.
