        A couple more to try (although hardware, especially disk performance)
is the most likely  performance limitation):

Bit-Twist (a new one that I just heard about this morning)

For those who are interested with this libpcap based networking suite,  please
do check out Bit-Twist 0.7, development release here:
  1. http://bittwist.sourceforge.net/ (Bit-Twist homepage)
  2. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bittwist/ (SF.net project page)

and tcpreplay which has been around for years.

Tcpreplay has a new home: http://tcpreplay.synfin.net

both play back tcpdump capture files to a (hopefully isolated if you don't want
trouble :-)) network and are thus protocol independent (at least tcpreplay is).
