[netperf-talk] NetPerf Alternatives

[pklemper at ece.cmu.edu]

Dear NetPerf List,

I'm sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I'm not really sure where to
turn.  I've been enjoying using netperf to check the effect of my
intrusion detection system against the maximum throughput capability of my
machine, but I have an additional requirement that I do not think netperf
can satisfy.

Is there a utility that would allow me to create a TCP stream of a defined
throughput so that I can measure the CPU overhead of my IDS over a range
of network loads?

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Peter
