If you really want to do detailed load testing of a network using both UDP and TCP with packet loss and response time information, look at a package called "netperf" written by Hewlett-Packard, and now on its own in some fashion. See http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html. Jim Cunning On Sat, 19 Feb 2000, Lenz Grimmer wrote:

ping -f <host>
Is the most simple method; it generates hundreds of packets per second. You may also want to take a look at the '-s' parameter; it specifies the size of each transmitted packet. You may specify a packetsize as high as about 65KB. I can specify a value of no higher than 65467 bytes, but I'm not sure this value is static or depending on the protocol-stack.
Alternatively, there is "bing" (in the distribution)
