Ostinato - A Powerful Traffic Generator

Ostinato is a network traffic generator tool. This paper addresses the features of Ostinato, its architecture and a basic capture and replay analysis, followed by scope of future integration with newer protocols. A packet trace of Address Resolution Protocol(ARP) is used to show how Ostinato can be used to edit and replay packets. Various snapshots of Ostinato's Graphical User Interface(GUI) are used to explain the process.
