RFC 3511 was written by 2 Spirent Communications' engineers and thus particulary appropriate for their solution "Smartbits network performance analysis system" (see http://www.spirentcom.com/analysis/product_line.cfm?pl=33&wt=2 for details). Smartbits is a hardware-based benchmark tool for network performance (firewalls, switchs, routers...) able to generate gigabit flows (24x1Gb ports or 6x10Gb ports) and millions of simultaneous TCP connections. Unfortunately, this product is very expensive and reserved with a professional world. In an open-source world, you can create some benchmarks tools with iperf, tcpblast or tcpreplay but your perfs will be strongly dependant from client and server capabilities to generate IP packets at a high rate.
