There are disclosed a computing device, storage medium, and method for generating packets. The computing device may include a memory divided into a kernel space and a user space and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor may execute an application program operative in the user space and a generic packet generator operative in the kernel space. The application program may cause the computing device to generate a first stream definition including a first background data template and one or more first user defined fields. The generic packet generator may cause the computing device to generate a first plurality of transmission-ready packets, wherein each packet of the first plurality of transmission-ready packets comprises the first background data template overlaid by the one or more first user defined fields.

Generic packet generator and method

There are disclosed processes and systems relating to simulated real-time packet generation to test a communications network. A first packet stream is defined and transmitted. Each packet in the first packet stream is composed from a first background data field and one or more user defined fields that overlay the first background data field.
