EOExplain; detail = <<- EODetail The basic operation of tcpreplay is to resend all packets from the input file(s) at the speed at which they were recorded, or a specified data rate, up to as fast as the hardware is capable. Optionally, the traffic can be split between two interfaces, written to files, filtered and edited in various ways, providing the means to test firewalls, NIDS and other network devices. For more details, please see the Tcpreplay Manual at: http://tcpreplay.appneta.com EODetail; man-doc = <<- EOMan .SH "SIGNALS" tcpreplay understands the following signals: @enumerate @item @var{SIGUSR1} Suspend tcpreplay @item @var{SIGCONT} Restart tcpreplay @end enumerate .SH "SEE ALSO" tcpdump(1), tcpbridge(1), tcprewrite(1), tcpprep(1), tcpcapinfo(1) .SH "BUGS" tcpreplay can only send packets as fast as your computer's interface, processor, disk and system bus will allow. Packet timing at high speeds is a black art and very OS/CPU dependent. Replaying captured traffic may simulate odd or broken conditions on your network and cause all sorts of problems. In most cases, you can not replay traffic back to/at a server. Some operating systems by default do not allow for forging source MAC addresses. Please consult your operating system's documentation and the tcpreplay FAQ if you experience this issue.

This option may improve performance when not using @var{--preload-pcap} option, otherwise its only function is to suppress printing. The flow feature will track and print statistics of the flows being sent. A flow is loosely defined as a unique combination of a 5-tuple, i.e. source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port and protocol. If @var{--loop} is specified, the flows from one iteration to the next will not be unique, unless the packets are altered.

The timestamps within the pcap file are used to determine the expiry, not the actual timestamp of the packets are replayed. For example, a value of 30 suggests that if no traffic is seen on a flow for 30 seconds, any subsequent traffic would be considered a new flow, and thereby will increment the flows and flows per second (fps) statistics. This option can be used to optimize flow timeout settings for flow products. Setting the timeout low may lead to flows being dropped when in fact the flow is simply slow to respond. Configuring your flow timeouts too high may increase resources required by your flow product. Note that using this option while replaying at higher than original speeds can lead to inflated flows and fps counts. Default is 0 (no expiry) and a typical value is 30-120 seconds.
