PiPG - Raspberry Pi Network Packet Generator

Welcome to PiPG

PiPG is a powerful and yet simple Raspberry Pi Network Packet Generator. With PiPG you can now fabricate custom network packets and send via any Network Interface. Supports all kinds of standard Network Ports (Linux Kernel driver generated) such as Physical Network Interface ports, and an array of virtual ports such as loopback, tun/tap, bridge, etc. PiPG is a part of The TOFFEE Project research.

Download PiPG (complete MicroSD Image):


indispensable tool for:

  • Network Debugging, Testing and Performance analysis
  • Network Administrators
  • Students
  • Network R&D
  • Protocol Analysis and Study
  • Network Software Development
  • Compliance Testing
  • Ethical Hackers


you can generate the following test traffic:

  • L2-Bridging/Slow protocols: STP, LACP, OAM, LLDP, EAP, etc
  • Routing protocols: RIPv1, RIPv2, IGMPv1, IGMPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, HSRP, VRRP, etc
  • Proprietary protocols: CISCO, etc
  • Generic: IPv4 TCP/UDP, etc
  • Malformed random packets


Installation and Setup:

The download PiPG tar-ball is a complete ready-to-use disk image of Raspberry Pi OS in which PiPG is pre-installed. You can download the binary (the install image above), un-tar it and install on a microSD card which is around larger than or equal to 16GB capacity. Since I built this PiPG image on a 8GB microSD card. You can follow the standard official Raspberry Pi guide for general Raspberry Pi OS image install steps: Installing operating system images


Buy in Amazon:


PiPG UI: You can access the PiPG UI via browser as shown below.
The default username is: root and the password is: welcome
The default Raspberry Pi OS login username and password is: pi and the password is: raspberry
URL: http://localhost

For installation, setup and overall usage, kindly watch my Youtube video below:


Dedicated Raspberry Pi Network Console Port:

You can optionally have a dedicated Network Console port for your Raspberry Pi PiPG device. So that you can remotely access the PiPG web UI and configure the same, while sending the generated packets via other dedicated test/alternate ports. To learn more about the same, kindly watch my detailed Youtube video below:


Here are some of the screenshots of the PiPG-v1.0.26:

My sample Wireshark packet capture files for research ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
I have a huge repository (or collection) of sample Wireshark packet capture files for reference. I use them extensively for research and development of TOFFEE as well to understand various protocol PDUs and protocol standards. I personally collected various test captures via Wireshark during my test and experimental research setup during the course of TOFFEE development. Say if you are a student and learning Networking and or say VoIP data and VoIP packets, you can analyse my VoIP sample Wireshark captures. Or in other case assume you are doing some quick research (or development) and want to refer few handful of VoIP packets then you can download and analyse my sample packet capture files.

A study on Deep Space Networks (DSN) ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
When you are dealing Deep Space Networks (DSN) one among the most challenging parts is the Interplanetary distances and communicating data across such vast distances. This is where we are not dealing with common Internet type traffic such as HTTP/FTP/VoIP/etc but it is completely different when it comes to DSN so far. So optimizing data in DSN becomes mandatory. For example if you think one of the Mars Rovers, they have used LZO lossless compression.

TOFFEE Benchmarks :: TOFFEE-1.1.28 ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Here is the TOFFEE WAN Optimization benchmarks of the TOFFEE version: TOFFEE-1.1.28. This is the current TOFFEE development version till date (2-Jul-2016). This is a HPC TOFFEE variant meant for high-end custom build servers and high-end desktops (i.e High Performance Computing a.k.a HPC). TOFFEE built this way often needs customized kernel compilation and build such as processor specific and hardware specific tune-ups since it is highly CPU intensive (if not offloaded via Hardware Accelerator Cards).

Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
Today I completed doing all the changes which are meant for the new upcoming TOFFEE-Mocha release. I have increased the resolution and the range of all factor variables. Instead 1 to 10 range now they have a range of 1 to 30. Unlike before the value 1 means it is lot more intense (or in some cases less intense) and the uppermost value 30 means lot less intense (or in some cases lot intense).

First TOFFEE-Butterscotch Code Release ↗
Saturday' 13-Mar-2021
TOFFEE-Butterscotch is a variant of TOFFEE can be used to save and optimize your Home/SOHO Internet/WAN bandwidth. Unlike TOFFEE (and TOFFEE-DataCenter) TOFFEE-Butterscotch is a non peer-to-peer (and asymmetric) network optimization solution. This makes TOFFEE-Butterscotch an ideal tool for all Home and SOHO users.
