basic_network
Basic networking operator¶
The basic_network_operator operator provides a way to send and receive data over Linux sockets. The
destination can be on the same machine or over a network. The basic network operator contains separate
operators for transmit and receive. Users may choose one or the other, or use both in applications
requiring bidirectional traffic.
For TCP sockets the basic network operator only supports a single stream currently. Future versions may expand this to launch multiple threads to listen on different streams.
The basic networking operators use class names: BasicNetworkOpTx and BasicNetworkOpRx

Receiver Configuration Parameters¶
batch_size: Bytes in batch- type:
integer max_payload_size: Maximum payload size for a single packet- type:
integer udp_dst_port: UDP destination port for packets- type:
integer l4_proto: Layer 4 protocol- type:
string(udp/tcp) ip_addr: Destination IP address- type:
string
Transmitter Configuration Parameters¶
max_payload_size: Maximum payload size for a single packet- type:
integer udp_dst_port: UDP destination port for packets- type:
integer l4_proto: Layer 4 protocol- type:
string(udp/tcp) ip_addr: Destination IP address- type:
string min_ipg_ns: Minimum inter-packet gap in nanoseconds- type:
integer
Transmitter and Receiver Operator Parameters¶
The transmitter and receiver operator both use the NetworkOpBurstParams structure as input
and output to their ports, respectively. NetworkOpBurstParams contains the following fields:
data: Pointer to batch of packet data- type:
uint8_t * len: Length of total buffer in bytes- type:
integer num_pkts: Number of packets in batch- type:
integer
To receive messages from the Receive operator use the output port burst_out.
To send messages to the Transmit operator use the input port burst_in.
