    Create a traffic generator

    Hi,

    I am interested in creating a traffic generator for an IP network but I am not sure where to begin. I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some guidance...

    Thanks

    i suppose you want to create a program that is able to create network traffic.

    the easiest way to go for it, is to write a socket program, that uses raw sockets for example, and then sends the desired packets.

    Read through the "useful links" thread at the top of this forum.

    >>that uses raw sockets for example
    and you need raw sockets because ...
    Maybe the term "traffic generator" is a bit vague, I take it that we just put data on the wire, which obviously only requires regular socket behaviour.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
