NAME

flowreplay − replay TCP/UDP flows from a pcap capture file

SYNOPSIS

flowreplay[ −h ] −i pcapfile [ −m send | wait | bytes ] [ −t targetip ] [ −p proto/port ] [ −V ] [ −w sec.usec ]

DESCRIPTION

Flowreplay is a tool for replaying client traffic to a server from files saved with tcpdump(8).

The basic operation of flowreplay is to connect to server(s) via the TCP/UDP protocols captured in the pcap file and replay the client side of the connection to the server.

OPTIONS

−h

Help.

−i

Input file (pcap format)

−m

Mode to use to know when the server is done sending. Options are ’send’ as fast as you can, ’wait’ for -w sec.usec, and send after recieving the previously captured number of ’bytes’ from the server.

−t

The server to connect to in lieu of the IP addresses in the pcap file.

−p

The protocol and/or port to limit sending traffic on. Valid protocols are: TCP and UDP; and any port between 0 and 65535.

−V

Print version info and exit.

−w

The number of seconds and micro-seconds represented as a float to wait for the server to finish sending before sending more data. Must be used with "-m wait".
