The replies I've gotten have been somewhat useful, but I think the purpose of what I'm seeking may not have been apparent. I'm not looking to perform volumetric or even known-vulneribility tests. I have some decent ways to do both and even know that I can make the device in question unhappy

Here's some tools that I've used to stress test gear over the years. You may or may not find some of them useful for your use case: (1) T50 - be *really* careful with this one: - Source: https://gitlab.com/fredericopissarra/t50 (2) Yersina (can be used for DHCP stress testing) - Source:
