bittwist-4.7-1.1 RPM for x86_64

From OpenSuSE Tumbleweed for x86_64

Bit-Twist is a libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator complementing
tcpdump. It replays traffic captured in .pcap files onto a live
network. It comes with a trace file editor to allow you to change the
contents of a trace file.

A packet generator is useful in simulating networking traffic or
testing firewall, IDS, and IPS, and troubleshooting various network
problems.

  - Update to version 3.7
    Changes since 2.0:
    general
    * added support for trace files with nanosecond resolution.
    * updated manual pages.
    * use in-memory trace files when sending packets in loop.
    * fixed integer overflow in stats output.
    * added static code analysis in Makefile (make check).
    * reformatted source files for C17 standard.
    * added initial python testing framework for Linux systems.
    bittwist (generator):
    * 30% speed up when sending large pcap file.
    * fixed linerate throttling.
    * updated -p option to send packets at set packets per second
      (pps).
    * added -t option to set inter-packet gap (this was previously
    - p option).
    * removed speed (-m) flag; use -p/-r to shape throughput.
    * updated linerate (-r) flag to use token bucket algorithm.
    bittwiste (editor)
    * added -G option to set fixed or random inter-packet gap in
      microseconds.
    * added support for CIDR notation when modifying IPv4/IPv6

      (mersenne twister). for tcp/udp source/destination port and
      tcp sequence/acknowledgment number.
    * added -N flag to duplicate packets from trace file, e.g.
    - N 100000 to repeat packets from trace file for 100,000 times
    * added ip6tcp and ip6udp templates.
    * updated -I flag to allow loading trace file from built-in
      templates.
    * options to edit IPv4/IPv6 packets to allow testing of
      classification/queuing.  features of switches/routers, e.g.
      + -T ip -e 3 to indicate congestion to the end hosts
      + -T ip6 -c 16 to classify packet for operation and management
      of the network
      + -T ip6 -f 0xfffff to set custom flow label
    * added support for IPv6 packets.
