Jimmy, There are a number of different tools both free and commercial you can use, we have a commercial product called Traffic IQ Pro which is designed to test inline network devices such as firewalls, IPS/ IDS, UTM's, routers and switches etc. information is and evaluation software is available at www.karalon.com
Traffic IQ Pro uses two network cards to transmit traffic files statefully so that you do not need to have a live target system available, this architecture provides users with numerous benefits including the ability to spoof any source and destination IP, port and MAC address. I hope you find the product interesting.

So far my testing has been fairly limited. I am currently looking to see if there are any tools around to test these types of devices, Currently my testing is all done through basic perl scripts however the information I get back from them is not really ideal, Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
