D-ITG, Distributed Internet Traffic Generator

Iperf can create TCP and UDP data streams and measure the throughput of a network that is carrying them.
Iperf allows the user to set various parameters that can be used for testing a network, or alternately for optimizing or tuning a network. Iperf has a client and server functionality, and can measure the throughput between the two ends, either unidirectonally or bi-directionally. It is open source software and runs on various platforms including Linux, Unix and Windows. It is supported by the National Laboratory for Applied Network Research.
