packetsfromfile - Read packets from a file
[Gets input from a file]
Stream containing a single field of packets.
This tool works similar to the Packet from Network tool, except the packets are not collected from the network, but from a PCAP formatted file. Files in this format can be created with the Write Packets tool, or by one of several third party tools, such as tcpdump.
The path name to the PCAP file on the local file system.
Controls if the file is restarted from the beginning when it has been fully read.
The packets in the file contains a time stamp for each packet. This option lets you decide whether to leave this as is, or offset it to current time as if they were just read from a network.
Lets you throttle the rate of the reading to avoid stressing the media from which the file is read. 0 means full throttle.

The tool will try to keep the rate given by this option; but it is only approximate and cannot be guaranteed. |
