• prepare hugepage in /etc/default/grub or /etc/dpdk/dpdk.conf and reboot

---

• install required packages including libpcap-dev

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

---

• download and build pktgen

# http://dpdk.org/browse/apps/pktgen-dpdk/refs
tar xvfz pktgen.tar.gz
cd pktgen
make

---

• modify tools/setup.sh according to your environment

# for example, 
release=`uname -r`
${Sudo} modprobe uio
${Sudo} insmod $sdk/$target/lib/modules/$release/extra/dpdk/igb_uio.ko
name=`uname -n`
if [ $name == "MYCONTAINER" ]; then
        ${Sudo} -E ${nic_bind} -b igb_uio 0000:03:00.0 0000:07:00.0
fi

or

${Sudo} modprobe uio
${Sudo} modprobe uio_pci_generic
if [ $name == "MYCONTAINER" ]; then
        ${Sudo} -E ${nic_bind} -b uio_pci_generic 0000:03:00.0 0000:07:00.0
fi

---

• run tools/setup.sh

sudo -E ./tools/setup.sh

---

• modify tools/run.sh according to your environment

cmd=./app/app/${target}/pktgen
dpdk_opts="-c 0xe -n 4 --proc-type auto --log-level 8 -m 4096 --file-prefix pg"
pktgen_opts="-P --crc-strip -m [2:3].0 -m [2:3].1"
black_list=""

---

• run pktgen

sudo -E ./tools/run.sh

---

• utilize throughput.lua and rfc2544-onebox.lua for performance experiments

modify IP and MAC in those scripts according to your environment
