Command line based IP traffic generator

ipiperfnetwork-traffic

Does anyone know of a command line based traffic generator which can produce IP traffic so that we cant test QOS feature on DSL modem . It would be good if we can set the dscp marking in the IP packet .

Curently we are using Iperf but we can't set the dscp marking .

Regards,
Mithun

Packgen says it supports the DSCP that you reqaire:

Scapy is another:

here is a nice list of generators/tools:

ping -a w.x.y.z

Should resolve the name from the IP address if the reverse lookup zone has been set up properly. If the reverse lookup zone does not have an entry for the record, the -a will just ping without a name.

Iptables – Debugger for Packet Analysis

I can't think of a direct solution, but I can think of a round about way of tracking a packet.

Log each rule with a log prefix directive (--log-prefix "Rule 34")
Generate a test packet or packet stream with scapy and set the TOS field to something unique
grep the log file output for that TOS setting and see which rules logged it.
