Session Traffic
---------------
The BNG Blaster can autogenerate bidirectional unicast
session traffic for all addresses assigned to a session
(IPv4, IPv6 and IPv6PD) and the corresponding network
interface function.
.. image:: ../images/bbl_session_traffic.png
:alt: Session Traffic
This is a powerful tool to quickly verify that forwarding
is correctly set up and working.
.. note::
All traffic sent from a network or a10nsp interfaces function
is called downstream. All traffic sent from an access interface
function is called upstream.
Those autogenerated traffic streams are named
``session-ipv4``, ``session-ipv6`` and ``session-ipv6pd``.

Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following example shows how to enable session traffic.
.. code-block:: json
{
"session-traffic": {
"ipv4-pps": 1,
"ipv6-pps": 1,
"ipv6pd-pps": 1
}
}
.. include:: ../configuration/session_traffic.rst
This traffic is generated between the session and a network
interface. In case of multiple network interfaces, the preferred
network interfaces can be selected using the ``network-interface``
option in the corresponding access configuration.
Verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The final report includes detailed information
for session traffic.

The ``First Sequence Number Received`` is used to measure the forwarding
convergence. The session traffic starts automatically as soon as the session
is established using the rate configured. All traffic flows in the BNG Blaster
start with the 64bit sequence number 1. Assuming the first sequence number
received for a given flow is 5 and the configured rate is 1 PPS, this would
mean that it took between 4 and 5 seconds until forwarding is working.
