FPX Network Traffic Generator

BACKGROUND:  The Network Traffic Generator consists of Internet Protocol Test Bench, a software program, and two hardware modules: Traffic Sender and Traffic Recorder.  The traffic generator was created to test new modules for the FPX switch in hardware as well as in software.  The hardware modules allow for the same set of test data to be tested on the hardware as it was tested in software.  The modules also allow traffic on the switch to be collected for use in simulation.
