1.6. Fake Address Ranges for Traffic Generation

Available for: Linux

The FAKE agent lets the user assign a range of addresses to agent that make use of the AddressPool feature of the Agent base class. This include most of the traffic generation agent’s client and server variables. The FAKE agent will add and remove these ranges from the local routingService. The traffic generation tools will pick up those values when creating AddressPool’s for the agent execution.

range.(node)
specify the IP address range that (node) can use for its traffic
myranges = messaging.newGroup('FAKE', 'f1')
myranges.setForNode('range', 'node1', '1.2.3.0/24')
myranges.setForNode('range', 'node2', '4.5.0.0/16')
myranges.START()
