Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] dts: rework traffic generator inheritance structure
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2025 01:21:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250702052154.381690-2-probb@iol.unh.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250702052154.381690-1-probb@iol.unh.edu>
From: Nicholas Pratte <npratte@iol.unh.edu>
Rework TG class hierarchy to include performance traffic generators.
As such, methods specific to capturing traffic have been moved to the
CapturingTrafficGenerator subclass.
Bugzilla ID: 1697
