Network Nugget #3 - Cause a traffic jam.....

I've been experimenting with an open source traffic generator which, from initial tests, seems like a pretty useful portable tool:

D-ITG, Distributed Internet Traffic Generator

Have a look if only to discover the word "stochastic" !

Another alternative is Iperf.

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.
