We've had pretty good luck using SmartBITS to generate traffic on our 10/100/1000 as well as Frame Relay and OC3 links in our test labs.

What are some tools to test bandwidth perfomance?  I've used iperf, but are there other tools or ways to generate traffic for testing purposes to see a links maximum capacity?  Especially greater than a 100mb.
