Traffic Generator

fedecotofaja · ‎01-13-2009

Hi All,

I need to know if there's a traffic generator that allows me to manipulate the payload size of the packet. The ones I've seen on the Internet are like ''Traffic'' which works only with bytes and is not that good.

I need it to test the efficiency of some protocols and for example to vary the payload of a packet from 10KB to 10MB.

Any assistance will be appreciated!!!

Cheers!

I think Iperf can do it

http://iperf.sourceforge.net/

or if you want a really nice tool check out IxChariot

Hi Collin,

I've seen iPerf but it has to be managed from the CMD and it has no help correct?

The other tool (IxChariot) is not for free...

I'll see if I find a trial....

Thanks for your help!

Yes iperf is a bit clumsy with the CLI.
