Known issues

breakingAPI changes in version 26.x: TrafficGen class replaced abstract base, breaking old subclass patterns.

fix

Use TrafficGen directly instead of subclassing; migrate custom device support to new plugin system.

affects: >=26.0,<27.0

deprecatedDirect import from `genie.libs.trafficgen` is deprecated; use `genie.trafficgen` instead.

fix

Change import to `from genie.trafficgen import TrafficGen`.

affects: >=26.0,<27.0

gotchaTrafficGen.connect() may hang indefinitely if device is unreachable; no timeout by default.

fix

Wrap in timeout or use async version with custom timeout param if available.

affects: all
