[c-nsp] OT: Network Performance Testing

[Wim De Houwer]

Hey *,

 

I know this is a little off-topic but I'm going to shoot anyway :)

 

Does anyone know of decent open source network performance testing
software ?

 

e.g. something that can do some of the things done by the hardware boxes
like "spirent smartbits", Fluke, ...

 

So I'm looking for a package that can generate (pre-defined) packets on
one interface,

 

and inspect them for errors on a second interface. Extra's would be
routing protocols & stuff, so that would be a "nice to have".

 

Regards,

 

Wim
