Hey all,

Does anyone know of a (preferably opensource) tool that can generate 
network loads of specific protocols and/or levels (for example, if I 
wanted to see how much loss I got on a 1 meg spike, over time).  I'm 
hopefully looking for something client/server so I'm not necessarily 
dependent on reply packets to measure the thoroughput.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.  Privately if you like, as 
I realize the potential for misuse of such things.

-Dan
