Creating a Traffic Generation File
Generating traffic is a two‐step process.
First, create a text‐based Sierra Trainer Traffic Generator file. This text file has an .ssg
extension. You can create this file by creating a new generator file or editing an existing
file.
Note:
ssg files created in other applications run in the Sierra Trainer.
After the file has been created, it can be opened and displayed in the application. You can
invoke the application to transmit the traffic generation file by using the Start Generation
button .
Note:
For details about traffic generation files, see “Sierra Trainer Generation Language” on page 418.
