I was just notified that the link posted below requires CCO partner level access. I'm sorry about that. Luckily for all of you that don't have that particular level of access there's a link to the same tech note that does not require a CCO account.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094694.shtml

(Basically it's the same url that I posted below, but with the '/partner/' removed).

Hi William,

to generate TCP traffic you can use the undocumented "ttcp" command. This will allow you to transfer bulk TCP data.

It is somewhat documented in:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094694.shtml

This tech note describes how to use a PC as the sender and a router as the receiver, but you can use a router as the sender as well.

Have fun,

Dear all,

   During the lab, if you are asked to configure QoS, you may need to
generate traffic to test your settings. Since there is not traffic generator
available in lab, what is the method you will use to generate traffic from
router to test your setting. I know that, "ping" can generate ICMP, "telnet"
can generate TCP, "traceroute" can generate UDP, do you know other ways?

Best Regards,
William Chen
