flowreplay - Connect to servers based on network traffic stored in pcap files

</ul><H2>SYNOPSIS </H2><ul>

<b>flowreplay</b> 
[<b>-<i>flag</i></b> [<i>value</i>]]... [<b>--<i>opt-name</i></b> [[=| ]<i>value</i>]]...
<br>
&lt;pcap_file(s)&gt;

<p>
flowreplay is a tool for using network traffic stored in pcap(3) files as
the basis for replaying connections to servers.

</ul><H2>DESCRIPTION </H2><ul>

This manual page documents, briefly, the <b>flowreplay</b> command.
Please note that flowreplay is currently in <b>alpha</b>.  As such, it is still
very much a work in progress and currently will not work for most uses.  If
you have the skill and interest to help make flowreplay work better, please
contact Aaron Turner.

</ul><H2>OPTIONS </H2><ul>

<p><dl compact><dt><b>-d</b> <i>number</i>, <b>--dbug</b>=<b><i>number</i></b>
<dd>Enable debugging output.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The value of <i>number</i> is constrained to being:
<pre>
in the range  0 through 5
<br></pre>
The default <i>number</i> for this option is:
</dl><br>
 0

<p>
If configured with --enable-debug, then you can specify a verbosity 
level for debugging output.  Higher numbers increase verbosity.
<p><dl compact><dt><b>-v</b>, <b>--verbose</b>
<dd>Print decoded packets via tcpdump to STDOUT.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
</dl>
<p>

<p><p><dl compact><dt><b>-A</b> <i>string</i>, <b>--decode</b>=<b><i>string</i></b>
<dd>Arguments passed to tcpdump decoder.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
This option must appear in combination with the following options:
verbose.
</dl>
<p>
When enabling verbose mode (<b>-v</b>) you may also specify one or more
additional  arguments to pass to <b>tcpdump</b> to modify the way packets
are decoded.  By default, -n and -l are used.   Be  sure  to
quote the arguments like: -A "-axxx" so that they are not interpreted
by tcpreplay.  The following arguments are vaild:
    [ -aAeNqRStuvxX ]
    [ -E spi@ipaddr algo:secret,... ]
    [ -s snaplen ]
<p><dl compact><dt><b>-m</b> <i>string</i>, <b>--mode</b>=<b><i>string</i></b>
<dd>Replay mode.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
</dl>
<p>
Flowreplay needs to know handle client/server exchanges to properly time.
The options are:

<p>
<i><b>send</b></i>
Replay traffic as fast as possible.  Do not wait for server to reply.

<p>
<i><b>wait</b></i>
Wait <b>--wait</b> sec.usec for the server to reply before sending.

<p>
<i><b>bytes</b></i>
Wait until the server has sent the number of bytes stored in the pcap file.

<p>
<i><b>user</b></i>
Send packets based on user interaction.
<br>
<p><dl compact><dt><b>-w</b> <i>string</i>, <b>--wait</b>=<b><i>string</i></b>
<dd>Number of sec.usec to wait between client's turn to send.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
</dl>
<p>
If <b>--mode</b> is <b>wait</b>, then you can specify the amount of time to 
wait for the server to complete it's side of the transaction before starting

<p><dl compact><dt><b>-t</b> <i>string</i>, <b>--targetip</b>=<b><i>string</i></b>
<dd>Target host to connect to.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
</dl>
<p>
This option has not been fully documented.
<p><dl compact><dt><b>-f</b> <i>string</i>, <b>--filter</b>=<b><i>string</i></b>
<dd>BPF filter to limit which flows are replayed.
This option may appear up to 1 times.
</dl>
<p>

<p><p><dl compact><dt><b>-c</b> <i>string</i>, <b>--clientnet</b>=<b><i>string</i></b>
<dd>Client network(s).

<dd>Server network(s).
</dl>

This option has not been fully documented.
<p><dl compact><dt><b>-n</b>, <b>--nosyn</b>
<dd>Disable Syn packet requirement to start connections.
</dl>
<p>
This option has not been fully documented.
<p><dl compact><dt><b>-l</b> <i>string</i>, <b>--slimit</b>=<b><i>string</i></b>
<dd>Service limit to proto/port.
</dl>
<p>
This option has not been fully documented.
<p><dl compact><dt><b>-V</b>, <b>--version</b>
<dd>Print version information.
</dl>
<p>

<p><p><dl compact><dt><b>-h</b>, <b>--less-help</b>
<dd>Display less usage information and exit.
</dl>
<p>

<p><p><dl compact><dt><b>-H</b>,<b> --help</b>
<dd>Display usage information and exit.
<dt><b>-!</b>,<b> --more-help</b>
<dd>Extended usage information passed thru pager.
<dt><b>-</b> [<i>rcfile</i>],<b> --save-opts</b>[=<i>rcfile</i>]
<dd>Save the option state to <i>rcfile</i>.  The default is the <i>last</i>
configuration file listed in the <b>OPTION PRESETS</b> section, below.
<dt><b>-</b> <i>rcfile</i>,<b> --load-opts</b>=<i>rcfile</i>,<b> --no-load-opts</b>
<dd>Load options from <i>rcfile</i>.
The <i>no-load-opts</i> form will disable the loading

</ul><H2>OPTION PRESETS </H2><ul>

Any option that is not marked as <i>not presettable</i> may be preset
by loading values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s).

In that case, the file "<i>.flowreplayrc</i>"
is searched for within that directory.
