I'm not sure it meets all your needs, but we use LNST [1] to test our code. You can see the tests (recipes) here [2]. You can create network namespaces, send / receive packets, run arbitrary shell commands and use existing test modules (e.g., ping, netperf) which return pass / fail. Adding Jiri and Ondrej, who is currently in the process of refactoring the code and also familiar with more LNST use cases, such as those employed by Redhat. 1. https://github.com/jpirko/lnst 2. https://github.com/jpirko/lnst/tree/master/recipes/
