Thank you for the response, but this is a tool that examines data flows. I need a tool that generates data flows in order to test network equipment.

YAF will generate flows (which is what I thought you were asking) as it sees packets stream by, but it sounds like you want something that puts traffic on the wire. An old standby is: http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/ and of course there are commercial options. Not sure how up to date this is, but there are quite a few options listed here: http://www.protocoltesting.com/trgen.html ---George Jones
Perhaps not a tool as in software, but clearly something that you might want to have a look at : Ixia and Spirent devices ... Those are mostly used for applications like generating different kind of traffic. Erik Bais
Another commercial tool (for large-scale application re-creation) is the Mu Studio Performance Suite from Mu Dynamics: http://www.mudynamics.com/resources/collaterals_noreg/Mu_Studio_Performance_... ~tom On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 06:03, Erik Bais <ebais@a2b-internet.com> wrote:

If you are looking to automate any of your testing, +1 Ixia if the box is using the Agilent OS/Interface (I forget how they are marketing it now). In regards to automation, I recently heard the Spirent interface was quite handy for generating scripts from GUI interactions, but I have not used it myself.
