Any of you folks know of a good utility to generate lots and lots of IP traffic. I am looking for something that will run on NT or a Solaris box. -Todd Wilkinson -tmwilkin@appliedthoery.com
Microsoft makes an inetload util that generates all kinds of fake traffic (IRC, www, ftp, so on and so on.) Its on the free software page at: http://www.microsoft.com. -biv On Thu, 11 Dec 1997, Henry Clark wrote:

I think he was interesting in generating/receiving useful traffic! :) steven At 15:11 12/11/97 -0500, Henry Clark wrote:

The question becomes, what type of traffic? just raw traffic? tcp, udp, icmp? icmp and udp are really easy, but unless you want to set up a box on the other end to talk tcp to, it's hard to say how to test it. It depends on what you're exactly trying to test. Todd M. Wilkinson boldly claimed:

On solaris, spray is pretty good. I guess it depends on what you mean by lots and lots of IP traffic. Jeff On Thu, 11 Dec 1997, Todd M. Wilkinson wrote:

Yeah, it really kinda depends on what he wants. If he wants fairly realistic traffic, one could probably write a packet generator fairly easily, that turns packet traces into traffic. If one has access to raw packet generating. The traces we have are generally src/dst encoded to protect privacy. Really depends on what's needed.

Try taking a look at TTCP. I don't think it's out there for Windows, but the source should compile on most UNIX platforms. Regards, Joe Shaw - jshaw@insync.net NetAdmin - Insync Internet Services Learn more, and you will never starve. On Thu, 11 Dec 1997, Todd M. Wilkinson wrote:
