| 2 | ======================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | `PTF <https://github.com/p4lang/PTF>`_ is a Python based data plane test framework. |
| 5 | It is based on unittest, which is included in the standard Python distribution. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | To test the P4 pipeline, we are using the following components: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * PTF framework and tests |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Installs table entries to the device. |
| 12 | * Generate and verify the traffic. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * Stratum: the software that process P4Runtime requests from PTF and configures the device. |
| 15 | * The device under tests: can be software device like Tofino Model, or a hardware device. |
| 16 | * TRex server: for the line rate test. |
