            |   | 3 | '''OTG (ORBIT Traffic Generator)''' software is designed for in NSF '''[http://www.orbit-lab.org ORBIT ]''' Testbed Project. It is a typical application to inject packets into the network and test the link performanacesuch, similar to [http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html Netperf]. ORBIT Traffic Generator is a special tool for ORBIT experimenters | 
          
          
            |   | 4 | to generate traffic for testing network performance.  Its primary focus is to | 
          
          
            |   | 5 | generate bulk data of various characteristics and use either TCP or UDP protocol | 
          
          
            |   | 6 | to transport data.  |

            |   | 8 | '''ORBIT Traffic Generator''' Software consists of two components.  | 
          
          
            |   | 9 | One is the '''OTG (ORBIT Traffic Generator)'''; the other is '''OTR (Orbit Traffic Receiver)'''. | 
          
          
            |   | 10 | They are used in pair to transmit and receive data respectively. The '''OTG''' software | 
          
          
            |   | 11 | has a flexible design to support various configuration of generators such as  | 
          
          
            |   | 12 | ''CBR'' and ''exponential on/off'' traffic.  | 
          
          
            |   | 13 |  | 
          
          
            |   | 14 | '''OTG''' is also integrated with [http://svn.orbit-lab.org/projects/oml OML] componet for | 
          
          
            |   | 15 | providing real-time measurements for network applications. |
