Usage - Creating models for realistic network traffic generation with trafficmodelmaker

Usage

The usage command for the trafficmodelmaker tool is as given below:

usage: trafficmodelmaker [-h] [-v] -i INPUTFILE -o OUTDIR
                     [-t {pdus-csv,packets-csv,pcap}] [-f METADATAFILE]
                     [-m {Generic,Generic1,Type1,Type2,Type3,Type4,TypeStoc1}]

**required arguments**:

-i INPUTFILE, --inputfile INPUTFILE
specify pcap or packets-csv file to be modeled

-o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR
specify output directory to save files

**optional arguments**:

-t {pdus-csv,packets-csv,pcap},
--inputfiletype {pdus-csv,packets-csv,pcap}
specify input file type

-h, --help
show this help message and exit

-v, --verbose

-f METADATAFILE, --metadatafile METADATAFILE
specify metadata file to use for modeling

-m {Generic,Generic1,Type1,Type2,Type3,Type4,TypeStoc1},
--modeltype {Generic,Generic1,Type1,Type2,Type3,Type4,TypeStoc1}
specify type of model to create

The library can also be used within python with the code below:

from trafficmodelmaker.trafficmodelmaker import Trafficmodelmaker
modeler = Trafficmodelmaker(inputfile, outdir, inputfiletype,
                            metadatafile, modeltype)
modeler.make_models()

Note that the input file type, metadata file and model type arguments are optional.
