My company produces a home firewall that is currently being used by a client within a large office network environment (long story). They are currently having problems with the software due to the sheer volumeof network traffic that is occurring.I need to replicate this environment, but I have not been able to find a method which will guarantee the volume of traffic. Pinging, port scanning and other such basics simply don't provide enough. I was hoping someone here might point me towards a site, or tool, that could generate immense amounts of network activity so I can track down the problem. Any assistance you can give would be extremely appreciated Lyndon - Bothered & Bewildered right now
I haven't used it, but you could try tcpreplay. "tcpreplay - replays pcap files at arbitrary speeds onto the network" http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/ --Michael
