ostinato.protocols.mac_pb2 module¶

Configure MAC settings in your network stream using ostinato.protocols.mac_pb2. Customize fixed or varying mac addresses for layer 2 testing

To add and configure Mac in a stream, add a protocol to the stream, set the protocol id to ost_pb.Protocol.kMacFieldNumber and access the Mac object from the Protocol object's Extensions dictionary using the key mac_pb2.mac

from ostinato.protocols import mac_pb2
...
# stream is an object of type ost_pb.Stream
proto = stream.protocol.add()
proto.protocol_id.id = ost_pb.Protocol.kMacFieldNumber
my_mac = proto.Extensions[mac_pb2.mac]

You can then set Mac attributes using my_mac.<attribute>
