Content-Type: text/plain Date: Tue, 06 Oct 1998 17:34:39 EST Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have a requirement to test bulk WAN traffics and I only have limited number (2 actually), and all I intend to do is to alias *MANY* IP addresses (on same subnet) to the same interface. But I am faced with another problem. How can I force application like ftp/ping/fping/tcpblast etc to use each of the assigned alias and the real IP address to concurrently run that many sessions to simulate traffics coming from different machines on the same network ? The reason for that is also, with different source and dest address, it will use different route to get to the dest, which will also be a FreeBSD with many alias addresses as well.
