hi everybody have a question. i need to perform router stresstesting. the setup: <traffic generator> ---- <ROUTER> ---- <sink device> is it possible to use linux plus some software to do that? did any1 do this? any hints ? i need to send as many packets per second as possible (to fill up 100Mbit/s link). the packets could be short (64B), but there should be a lot of them. what kind of performance of linux based traffic generator could i expect (in terms of packets per second) ? thing is, comercial traffic generators (like SmartBits hw, http://www.netcomsystems.com/solutions/hardware.asp) are very expensive... thanks for any info ;) rgds, Denis. -- ("\''/").__..-''"`-. . denis.karpov@necsom.com `9_ 9 ) `-.
