The Network team took our traffic generator so we needed to build our own using (4) servers with (8) 100G NIC’s. Here is the design I came up with to build our own “home brew” traffic generator used to saturate the switches while stress testing them in the thermal chamber.
8 x 100G Host NIC’s feeding the Snake Test: 48 Hours
2x400G Uplinks to Snake Test Switch: 48 Hours
Snake Test Switch 32x400G: 48 Hours
Snake Test Switch @ 25.6 Tbps: 48 Hours
