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