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
