@Question about choosing mesurement tools@

[neyshule]

Hi all:
I want to measure a software router's performace when the incoming packet rate is fluctuating, while it seems that a lot of measurement tools like iperf, netperf, UDPmon only provides fixed rate traffic testing,so is there any measurement tool that can generate customized pattern traffic??? Thanks very much.

I could think of a tool like aircrack-ng. See the aireplay submodule. Of course this tool is suited only for wireless devices. But google gives you many hits: replay packets - Google Search

I don't know if this aircrack has relation to my packets??

You did not specify which packets you have there, nore the involved physical layer, nore did you specific what your "pattern" is. So I assumed you want it as customizable as possible and assumed further it may be wireless traffic, which aireplay suits pretty well. But google gives also good results:

replay packets - Google Search
replay ethernet packets - Google Search
replay token ring packets - Google Search
packet generators - Google Search
