The ros profiling package simulates ROS topics of desired message size and frequency.

Usage:

rosrun ros_profiling tx -s

and

rosrun ros_profiling rx -s -a ip_of_server_machine

Both executable need a config file to be put on ~/.rospacket/config.yaml or specified using -f option (use -h for details).

The format is for tx

topics:
 - name: topic_1
   period: 20
   size: 1000
   count: 1000
 - name: topic_2
   period: 300
   size: 64000
   count: 500

and for rx

topics:
 - name: topic_1
   type: 0
 - name: topic_2
   type: 2

where type specifies the type of connection (0 is TCP, 1 is TCP_NoDelay and 2 is UDP). The -a option on the rx node, must specify the IP of the machine where the tx is running (should be a wired network).
