Welcome to the BB-Gen wiki!

BB-Gen is simple CLI based packet crafter written in Python over Scapy library to generate packet flows formatted as PCAP files by taking user-defined parameters as inputs based on the headers defined in a P4₁₄ program. It can natively crafts packets for different standard and custom protocols. It aims to create PCAP files to be used with a wide set of Traffic Generators (e.g., pktgen-dpdk, NFPA, TCPDUMP, etc.) helping network developers to validate the network and execute performance tests over the targets.
