Ethernet Traffic Generator Software

[pharos]

Hi all,
I don't have a hardware ethernet traffic generator. But i have two PCs with NICs installed. Does anybody aware of a software based ethernet traffic generator which can be run on PC for full load testing of ethernet links. Please send me info or link where i can get such software.

regards,
pharos

You can use progs, like IRIS, to play back some IP packets from a PC
to the other one. To find IRIS try with google.

Best regards,

Hello All,
Thanks for ur answers. I think that etherreal will only analyze the traffic on the ethernet link, it won't generate any traffic on the link. Pls. correct me if i am wrong.
