: A cisco ping is not bursty, to the extent of hundreds of mb/s. Also, cisco : ping doesn't offer 4,000 pings/sec. No, but you can start 6 simultaneous sessions to the router and have 5 of them pinging the other side of the circuit while looking at the 6th session to watch for traffic levels and errors. You'd be surprised how much traffic you can push when you set the packets to as big as you can and as fast as you can. I don't know how bursty a traffic pattern this would create, though. scott
