Replay & Capture (Slow)

FMADIO can replay PCAP traffic at low speed while simultaneously capturing at full line rate. This can be very helpful for debugging or other troubleshooting and does not require changing the FPGA firmware from Capture to Replay mode. This Replay mode uses PIO (Programmed IO) who's bandwidth is quite low, and is not suitable for full high bandwidth packet relay. Usage is as follows

FMADIO20v3

Example command on the 20G Packet Capture system

/opt/fmadio/bin/stream_generate_f20 --replay

Example below pipes a PCAP previously captured on the device back down the the capture interfaces.

For SKUs FMADIO100v2 and FMADIO40v3

PCAP linux stdin pipe |  sudo /opt/fmadio/bin/stream_generate_f100 --replay_pio

You can pipe a PCAP from a local file system or use stream_cat to pipe from the capture system. Example below pipes from a previous captures.
