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.
