tcpreplay/INSTALL

Building tcpreplay
-------------------

To build tcpreplay on a supported platform:

	% ./configure ; make

If you get it to work on a platform not listed above, please let us
know!

Installing tcpreplay
---------------------

To install tcpreplay, as root:

	# make install

This will install the tcpreplay binary and man page (by default,
/usr/local/sbin/tcpreplay and /usr/local/man/man8/tcpreplay.8).

On BSD-based systems, kernel modifications are required to correctly
forge outgoing Ethernet source MACs. See the libnet documentation for
details on how to do this.

Running tcpreplay
------------------

See the tcpreplay manpage for details.

Known Problems
--------------

Tcpreplay can only replay traffic as fast as your hardware allows. If
you find you can't hit that 80 Mbps traffic rate you want, build a
faster machine (disk I/O seems to account for a lot of the overhead).

Troubleshooting
---------------

Trouble? What trouble? :-)
