The world's first open-source hardware traffic generator and capture system.
OSNT is low cost: it is based on the NetFPGA platform and can be built for less than $2000.
OSNT is open source: all the hardware and software designs are freely available for you to use and extend.
OSNT works out of the box: it comes with some standard libraries for generating and capturing user-selected packet lenghts at different rates.
OSNT is extensible: it is easy to add new features and adapt it to your needs.
Our approach has demonstrated lower-cost than comparable commercial systems while achieving similar levels
of precision and accuracy; all within an open-source framework extensible with new features to support new applications,
while permitting validation and review of the implementation.
