Download MoonGen as instructed on the Downloads page.

Installation

1. Install the dependencies (see Dependencies)
2. git submodule update –init
3. ./build.sh
4. ./setup-hugetlbfs.sh
5. Run MoonGen from the build directory

Note: You can also use the script bind-interfaces.sh to bind all currently unused NICs (no routing table entry in the system) to DPDK/MoonGen. build.sh calls this script automatically. Use deps/dpdk/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py to unbind NICs from the DPDK driver.

Dependencies

• gcc
• make
• cmake
• kernel headers (for the DPDK igb-uio driver)
