My New 25 Gigabit Firewall Testing Setup! - Cisco TRex Traffic Generator

In this video we take a look at my new firewall testing rig which will allow me to test firewalls up to 25 gigabit using both iPerf and custom traffic generation using Cisco's TRex software all from a single device. We'll take a look at both Cisco TRex to generate custom traffic streams as well as how Linux's "network namespaces" feature can be used to run iPerf between two interfaces on the same machine.
