RandomSource
RandomSource — Click element; generates random packets whenever scheduled
RandomSource(LENGTH [, LIMIT, BURST, ACTIVE, KEYWORDS])
Batching: Batching natively supported
Ports: no inputs, 1 output
Processing: agnostic
Creates packets, of the indicated length, filled with random bytes. Packets' timestamp annotations are set to the current time. Pushes BURST such packets out its single output every time it is scheduled (which will be often). Stops sending after LIMIT packets are generated; but if LIMIT is negative, sends packets forever. Will send packets only if ACTIVE is true. (ACTIVE is true by default.) Default LIMIT is -1 (send packets forever). Default BURST is 1.
Keyword arguments are:
- LENGTH — Integer. The outgoing packet will have this length.
- LIMIT — Integer. Same as the LIMIT argument.
- BURST — Integer. Same as the BURST argument.
- ACTIVE — Boolean. Same as the ACTIVE argument.
- STOP — Boolean. If true, then stop the driver once LIMIT packets are sent. Default is false.
- END_CALL — A write handler called once LIMIT packets are sent. END_CALL and STOP are mutually exclusive.
- TIMESTAMP — Boolean. If false, do not set the timestamp annotation on generated packets. Defaults to true.
RandomSource(64) -> Queue -> ...
Useful for profiling and experiments. Packets' timestamp annotations are set to the current time.
RandomSource listens for downstream full notification.
- count (read-only) — Returns the total number of packets that have been generated.
- reset (write-only) — Resets the number of generated packets to 0. The RandomSource will then generate another LIMIT packets (if it is active).
- length (read/write) — Returns or sets the LENGTH parameter.
- limit (read/write) — Returns or sets the LIMIT parameter.
- burst (read/write) — Returns or sets the BURST parameter.
- active (read/write) — Makes the element active or inactive.
