Well, I know the Ixia solution works but Chariot is a bit expensive (or
it was when I looked.)
I've used http://www.nominum.com/services/measurement_tools.php for
testing DNS. I seem to remember seeing max concurrent requests before the
server falls over from the load.
I know I've seen something like it for http too, but it was long enough
ago that I don't remember what it was called.
I know that someone here tried Nessus (http://www.nessus.org) from behind
my dev firewall and that did a great job of flooding the state table.
You could also try Nmap (http://nmap.org/), but I don't know if it's
really agressive enough to fill a state table.
