How much traffic, and what data-points are you looking to describe? Is the environment a controlled/sealed lab world (No access to the InterWebs) -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Matthias Flittner Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2015 11:21 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: wanted: tool for traffic generation / characteristics / monitoring Dear colleagues, Currently we are looking for a magic tool with which it is possible to generate specific (realistic) traffic patterns between client and server to analyze (monitor) traffic characteristics (jitter, delay, inter arrival times, etc.). It would be good if that wanted tool is not only able to generate different traffic patterns but also is able to collect different traffic metrics over time. So that it is possible to create catchy plots. :) Any hints or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, -FliTTi
