TRex based on DPDK, have high performance for traffics generator scenario. TRex has two deployment scenarios, one is Stateless mode, another is Server/client mode. How different for them? As follow pic. Btw, TRex has a GUI tool that can easy config traffic pattern, but that only support in Stateless mode. For Server/Client mode, only CLI (you can reference “Linux SRv6实战 （第三篇） 多云环境下Overlay(VPP) 和Underlay整合测试 ” that use Server/Client mode). For the article, only focus on stateless mode and GUI tool.

My VPS(Bandwagon) include OpenVPN script, but only support Centos6.x that version not good for docker (my blog deploy by docker Blog顺利完成搬家之Bandwagonhost VPS), so need to do by other scripts. OpenWRT config OpenVPN client has some different, so summary the info to the article for review.

But due to GFW, OpenVPN couldn’t establish at last, reset happened between server and client, but the setup should workable.

When we want to collect some show information by Telemetry, we will face the 1st question that how to find the correct/resolved sensor path. The first step often traps us. Is there any good way to easily find the sensor path? The answer is “Yes”. I had summarized a way that can help you quickly find the sensor path.

Before read the article，there is a file that mapping between YANG and Sensor Path in XR, you can check by keyword(e.g fan, cpu and so on) first, if not found, then check my article.
