It sits within the broader pyATS ecosystem, a data-driven test automation platform developed by Cisco and designed for rapid, reusable test development in an object-oriented Python style.\n\nThe package provides a unified interface to control traffic generation hardware, allowing test automation code to send and receive network traffic as part of larger test suites. It depends on vendor-specific libraries (IxNetwork, stcrestclient) and the core Genie and unicon packages, making it most useful for teams already using the pyATS framework or planning to integrate traffic testing into existing Genie-based test automation.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using Genie and pyATS for test automation and need to add traffic generation capabilities. The active maintenance, permissive license, and low install friction make it a straightforward addition. However, you must have access to compatible traffic generator hardware (IxNetwork or STC) and be prepared for vendor-specific setup; it is not useful as a standalone traffic simulation tool."},"id":"genie-trafficgen","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/genie-trafficgen","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/genie-trafficgen.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/genie-trafficgen/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"genie.trafficgen","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Genie Library for traffic generator connection support"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":198026,"position":9743,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.7"}
