Hi, I have setup a small test harness consisting of 4 machines in the
following config

								------
							    |  A  |
		                        ------
								   | 172.16.0.1
                                   |
								   |
								   | 172.16.0.3
					---------------------------------------
                    |                                     |
                    |									  |
					|				B					  |
					|10.0.1.1				  192.168.0.1 |
					|-------------------------------------
                    |									  |
					|									  |
					|10.0.1.2				  192.168.0.2 |			  
				________                              _________
				|	    |                             |       |
				|   C   |                             |   D   |
				|_______|                             |_______|

A, C, D are identical FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE machines with 128MB and
Celeron/400 with Intel EEpro 100Mbps card. They have 6GB IDE disks

B is a P3/550 with 4.0-stable and 3 EEpro 100Mbps cards. Has a 9GB
SCSI disk

Right now, B has no rules on it so it is acting just as a router. I
plan to add rules to it later on

Subsequently I am going to replace B with a Watchguard and a Netscreen
to see relative performance

I am looking for some advice as to tools/techniques I can use to
generate network traffic between the boxes. 

Regards, Yusuf
