 Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 3:11 pm Post subject: Stress testing a WAN link |
 |
|
Looking to do some stress tests on a 10 meg WAN link in both
directions. I'm looking for a piece of software that will allow me to
simulate a given number of MBps of traffic.
I've used solarwinds WAN Kill many times. It works great, but can
only really be used at one end of the link. If I install it on a PC
on the remote end of the link and generate too much traffic, the link
goes down, the PC continues to hammer the link, and I have no way of
accessing the PC to stop it. Anyone know of any software that would
allow me to set a time limit for traffic generation? i.e. "generate
10 MBps for 10 minutes and then stop."
Thanks |
