Traffic Generator v3 wiki

History

First there were traffic. This was around 1999/2000. Then there was newtraffic, this was 2002. Now there is traffic3 (2015).

All of them are intended to generate network traffic with configurable patterns to load test firewalls, routers or networks.

The code for traffic is lost, it used to be on SourceForge. Most of the code and the binary releases for newtraffic is lost, it used to be on SourceForge. I did have the latest snapshot for newtraffic and that is now on github.

More information on my home page.

Plans

The intent with this is to recreate the functionality in newtraffic, but using modern techniques and modern C++ language features. It is also intended to be a little bit of fun for me to be able to program as a hobby in a language I love.

I hope to be making regular contributions to this to get feature parity with newtraffic, and hopefully add a few extra protocols and features in the process.
