[AusNOG] Load Testing Tools?

[PRK]

Hi all,

I'm curious what load testing tools (commercial or home grown, if any) 
people use for generating network & systems load to test throughput & 
response times.

Eg for capacity testing, performance testing after a network or software 
change, etc.

More specific examples would include radius server testing packets per 
second (to cater for a brown out disconnect / reconnect event), or proxy 
server testing peak requests per second, or throughput testing an 
upstream 10Gbit link from a carrier, etc.


prk.
