Vicky, Hmmm..... Netperf usually does the trick for network load testing. At least thats what we use at work :) -- Jonathan On Fri, 18 Jun 2004 14:39:27 -0700, Vicky <vickyr@socal.rr.com> wrote:

Hi there,

Just wondering what folks out there have used or are using (such as smartbits, etc) for measuring the performance (benchmark) limits for engineering and qa testing. I'm looking at doing end-to-end performance testing to monitor throughput for networking gear.

Any insight to this topic will be appreciated.
