This isn't really simple but it'll do what you want:
Cisco IOS IP SLAs Technology Overview
Cisco IOS IP SLAs uses active traffic monitoring-the generation of traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner-for measuring network performance. Cisco IOS IP SLAs sends data across the network to measure performance between multiple network locations or across multiple network paths. It simulates network data and IP services, and collects network performance information in real time. The information collected includes data about response time, one-way latency, jitter (interpacket delay variance), packet loss, voice quality scoring, network resource availability, application performance, and server response time. Cisco IOS IP SLAs originated from the technology previously known as Service Assurance Agent (SAA). Cisco IOS IP SLAs performs active monitoring by generating and analyzing traffic to measure performance either between Cisco IOS devices or from a Cisco IOS device to a remote IP device such as a network application server. Measurement statistics provide!
d by the various Cisco IOS IP SLAs operations can be used for troubleshooting, for problem analysis, and for designing network topologies.

Note that "IOS IP SLA" used to be called SAA (search the archive for SAA configuration examples). Also traceroute will generate UDP packets and you can telnet to a specific TCP port to test an ACL.

Subject: How to send out test TCP/UDP traffic
Hi Group,
Quick question: is there simple way to send out TCP/UDP test traffic to
specific addresses and port numbers (in order to test ACL/Multicast and
etc)?
thanks
