TRex is an open source project of Traffic Generation that is based on dpdk technology.

The project started as an initiative of engineers at Cisco Israel and is now being developed by engineers from several companies.

The aim of the project is to provide a cheap (the system can run on a home computer) and high quality alternative to commercial traffic generation tools that can be found in the labs of every company developing communication gear.

In the lecture I will introduce the project and the path taken to convince a company such as Cisco to open the project's source code and to continue development in an open-source model.
