Sounds like you are well on your way!!! I've read about some traffic gen apps but haven't tried yet. Yesterday I found mention of a stress test for apache that sounded interesting. I'll let you know.

It loops through all my active IP addresses and sends a flood ping. I ran that on two machines simultaneously. Then I had to write a thing to stop it when another command script puts the stop code in a control file. Used ifconfig to put my interfaces in promiscuous mode. That gave me more info. I suppose I should give a presentation on how to do those things in Kshell script. Anyway I got to watch etherape. It's cool. It only saw icmp traffic though. Then I copied a mandrake cd across NFS. That gave me some UDP (I think) traffic. Cool! If life is good to me tomorrow I'll bring up ethereal and fuss with that. Wish me luck. -- ...Wayne ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
