This is a Node.js application that generates activation parameters for NDN-DPDK service.

• gen-args.ts: traffic generator activation parameters.
• gen-config.ts: traffic generator activation parameters.

Usage

1. Make a copy of this directory to somewhere outside the NDN-DPDK repository.
2. Run corepack pnpm install to install dependencies.
3. Open the directory in Visual Studio Code or some other editor that recognizes TypeScript definitions. If the NDN-DPDK installation is on a remote machine, you may use the Remote-SSH plugin.
