I am not sure if there were any other replies to this, and I have been slow as I am far from an expert. This is a tough thing to do correctly in my opinion without a pretty complicated setup. The easiest and simplest thing would be to set up a few spare computers on the NATed side and have them run iPerf to your set of clients. But you need a good Virtual Hosting device to allow for both ends of this and you’ll quickly outrun your ethernet connectivity on your host device once you get past 6-7 VMs. So you’ll have to have multiple devices on both sides to do any amount of this. That is about the best I know.

Im not really concerned with the host hardware being able to generate the traffic well or reliably
