1 COMPILATION To compile on 32-bit machine, say make trafficGen32 To compile on 64-bit machine, say make trafficGen64 2 CREATING INTERFACE FOR MONITORING To create a wireless monitoring device that will be used to collect radiotap headers, say sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor sudo ifconfig mon0 up where wlan0 is the name of your wireless interface. You can find it out by saying iwconfig You need to create the monitoring device only once. After that it should work until rebooting. 3 RUNNING TRAFFIC GENERATOR To run the traffic generator, say sudo ./trafficGen32 --role=receiver --active --passive-ip=54.76.150.9 --passive-port=54341 --dev-name=wlan0 --dev-name-mon=mon0 --trace-duration=1800 --log-dir=/path/to/output/directory --tcp-info-log-interval=1000 Replace /path/to/output/directory by the path to the output directory. Replace wlan0 by the name of your wireless interface. Use trafficGen32 or trafficGen64 depending on your machine's architecture.
