Method for sending messages with random length precisely according to traffic model

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for sending messages with random length precisely according to a traffic model. The method generates random numbers within a designated range through a universal PRBS generating circuit and a DSP hardcore resource in FPGA. The random numbers act as the length of to-be-sent messages. Two accumulators are used to perform real-time computing on reciprocal values of the rates of the messages stored in message rate control FIFO in advance to obtain a message interval corresponding to each to-be-sent message. At last, a message sending controller outputs message packaging control enable signals according to requirements of the length of the to-be-sent messages and the message intervals, and precise control of sending rates of the messages with random length according with the given traffic model is achieved. According to the method, the message sending rate can be precisely controlled to a level of a clock period, the achievement is simple, the timing sequence can be converged easily, and the resource usage rate is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network communication, in particular to a method and a device for sending messages accurately according to a given traffic model, and the length of the sent messages is a random value. Background technique [0002] In many data communication systems, such as IP switching, EPON, Ethernet and other systems, data throughput, message delay, etc. are very important test indicators. The test of these indicators needs to simulate the data model of the actual business. With the development of the integration of three networks, more and more services are carried on a single network. In terms of specific packets, the length of the packets is randomly variable, and the packet traffic conforms to a certain statistical model. Therefore, in network testing, a device that can generate random packet lengths and send packets according to a specific traffic model is often used for testing. [0003] In order to precisely control the...
