        I think they are talking about generating an OC3s worth
of traffic.  while you could fill it all up w/ ntp packets
as one method, I do not beleive it will create the desired result.

        but yes, if you are wanting to measure
latency across your network or a circuit, ntp when properly
synchronized can be quite a useful tool.

you may want to look for products from companies such as IXIA.


Whatever happened to using NTP between sites? Works well if you have
clocks at each site. Sorta works on strat 1/2 no clock.
