Hi!
Does anyone know a good traffic generator that can be implemented on the
same machine than the one which implement traffic control?
I have a "test network" (2 hosts). One of the machines is a router on
which I want to test my traffic control settings. This router is
supposed to be at the interface of two networks: mine and another one
that does not exist in fact. As I have to simulate traffic coming from
the non-existent network, I'm looking for a tool that I could install on
the router and that won't bypass the traffic control (as for example the
kernel traffic generator does).
Any good suggestion?
Br,
Emmanuel

I tried spak (Send Packet: http://www.xenos.net/software/spak/). Although= it=20 is quite configurable, I found that the rate of sending packets is slow a= s=20 the a different program is required to be run for different layers. For=20 example to send a TCP packet, we would have to run maketcp then makeip an= d=20 finally sendpacket. Thus for each packet sent out we have to execute 3=20 programs. This slows down the sending rate very much. I tried to send som= e=20 10000 packets and the rate I saw was something like 1 packet/sec. Maybe i= t=20 could work for your case. Thanks, Ashok

Following on this, does anybody know of traffic generator which can take = a=20 network address as target and send packets to each address in that networ= k?=20 In using spak (http://www.xenos.net/software/spak/) I had to write a scri= pt=20 to send packets to each address in the network because the generator acce= pts=20 only a single IP address as target.
