VIRL host operating system is quite sensitive to changes, so I try not to make it without good reason.īecause I am Mac user, I obtained my GUI client from MacPorts repository. It is also available via repository used by yum on VIRL host, but it requires an installation of many additional packages. I have not tested the first option, but Linux binaries are available in the form of. For the most versions you need to pay $2, but older are available for free. You can download the GUI client from the Ostinato homepage.
The only trick is that you need GUI frontend to manage it and it is not part of VIRL installation. You add Ostinato node like every other device in your simulation.

In this article, I will show you how to use it to generate a multicast stream in VIRL simulation. Ostinato consists of two components – the LXC image run in a simulation that generates the traffic and GUI frontend.

Ostinato is by default available on Cisco VIRL so we can use it as a packet generator in our simulations. It is a tool that network admins and developers should use for testing the system or application against various scenarios. You can even send multiple streams if required. You can use it to craft packets and send flow into your network.
