A protocol analyzer would let you generate packets. Capture some RIP and IGRP updatess so you know what they look like, change and add network numbers, and then send them out again. A good analyzer will recalculate the IP checksum for you. (Also, the UDP checksum in the case of RIP).
Of course, if you could afford a good analyzer, you could afford some new routers too, though! ;-) Does anyone know if the free analyzers like Etherreal will let you generate packets?
