Overview

flowsimulator-go generates deterministic, protocol-neutral enterprise flow intent and exports it to standard flow telemetry protocols.

Primary use cases:

  • flowcollector-go regression testing.
  • Collector development.
  • Enterprise traffic simulation.
  • Load and soak tests.
  • Demo environments.
  • Observability validation.
  • Reproducible test data.

flowcollector-go is the primary reference collector. Other standard-conformant NetFlow v5, NetFlow v9, IPFIX, and sFlow v5 collectors can receive traffic, but compatibility is only claimed after validation.
