This is done by running the +flow extract tool. An example of running the tool is shown below. For +more details on the flow extract tool, please read the provided help +by running the tool with the -h argument. + +./build/flowextract2 -s 500000 -i input.pcap -o output_directory + +After the output has been copied to this directory, the configuration +can be launched as shown below: + +./build/prox -f flow_gen/flow_gen_4ports.cfg -e \ + -q max_setup_rate=2000 \ + -q connections=50000 \ + -q ss=19.46 \ + -q test_system_id=0 + +The parameters provided through -q depend on the traffic profile.
