I wonder if porn is still the largest driver of traffic. I’ll guess not. I would bet streaming TV is.

There are several such tools to pick from. That's all I've got. It would be interesting to have something that generated a statistically normal spread of simulated internet usage, but I'm not aware of such a tool. -Adam On 12/11/2019 4:00 PM, David Coudron wrote: 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
