+"""IxNetwork traffic generator model.
+
+Provides a model for an IxNetwork machine and appropriate applications.
+
+This requires the following settings in your config file:
+
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_LIB_PATH
+ IxNetwork libraries path
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_HOST
+ IxNetwork host IP address
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_PORT
+ IxNetwork host port number
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_USER
+ IxNetwork host user name
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_TESTER_RESULT_DIR
+ The result directory on the IxNetwork computer
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_DUT_RESULT_DIR
+ The result directory on DUT. This needs to map to the same directory
+ as the previous one
+
+The following settings are also required. These can likely be shared
+an 'Ixia' traffic generator instance:
+
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_HOST
+ IXIA chassis IP address
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_CARD
+ IXIA card
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_PORT1
+ IXIA Tx port
+* TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_PORT2
+ IXIA Rx port
+
+If any of these don't exist, the application will raise an exception
+(EAFP).
+
+Additional Configuration:
+-------------------------
+
+You will also need to configure the IxNetwork machine to start the IXIA
+IxNetworkTclServer. This can be started like so:
+
+1. Connect to the IxNetwork machine using RDP
+2. Go to:
+
+ Start->
+ Programs ->
+ Ixia ->
+ IxNetwork ->
+ IxNetwork 7.21.893.14 GA ->
+ IxNetworkTclServer
+
+ Pin a shortcut to this application to the taskbar.
+3. Before running it right click the pinned shortcut and go to
+ "Properties". Here change the port number to your own port number.
+ This will be the same value as "TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_PORT" above.
+4. You will find this on the shortcut tab under the heading "Target"
+5. Finally run it. If you see the following error check that you
+ followed the above steps exactly:
+
+ ERROR: couldn't open socket : connection refused
+
+Debugging:
+----------
+
+This method of automation is quite error prone as the IxNetwork API
+does not give any feedback as to the status of tests. As such, it can
+be expected that the user have access to the IxNetwork machine should
+this trafficgen need to be debugged.
