Hi Ragu,

I've been watching this company in hopes that they would provide a
product to do exactly what you're asking.
   http://www.netcalibrate.com/
I talked to one of their engineers a while ago about it (before they
released their product) but I havn't been keeping up with it closely.
The overview I got sounded like it would be useful and their web page
says that you can get an eval copy for a time-limited trial.

Since Cisco doesn't let me get anywhere near our WAN links, I havn't
downloaded or tried it.  I'd sincerely appreciate comments from
anyone who does try it out.

You may want to check around your other devices to make sure that you
don't have a L2 problem - ethernet interface going bad and spurting
junk, loose connection that only gets/sends some packets correctly,
etc.  Check for drops, retransmissions, runts, giants, and things like
that.

Best of Luck,
Chris
