There is not enough information here to know if tcpreplay is the proper tool. Have you read the online documentation at http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/wiki/manual? That differentiates between the capabilities of tcpreplay and flowreplay. The documentation seems quite clear to me on identifying the capabilities of tcpreplay. However, that's an insider's opinion and if you find that the documentation is not clear in some way, I'm sure Aaron would welcome additional documentation that would help clarify. tcpreplay might work if you are testing a network IDS. It would not be appropriate for testing a response from a host. If flowreplay were released, it would handle the host testing needs. It is definitely useful to have flowreplay discussed, because it clearly helps one understand the difference in scope between the tools, even if it is not available.
