That depends on what you mean by "network traffic". Are you testing a web application, or some other app? Are you testing the load handling capability of a router or some other device? What? We use a decent little traffic generator to load test our web sites at work. The entire testing suite only cost us about $3,000,000.

Unless you have deep pockets, you will probably need to roll your own. I work at a small company and we had to that. If you do decide to write your own, don't try to do too much from a single machine. We found that we quickly ran out of ephemeral TCP ports if we tried to do too much from a single machine. Now we run our application with a modest load from several different PCs in the office to simulate a large load on our server. Hogan

grab Wireshark make a traffic capture of what you want to resend over and over again. Then go grab colasoft packet builder and this can be used to replay. This is for windows. If you are under linux then use tcpdump to make the capture file then use tcpreplay to replay the capture over your network, can also use tcprewrite to change the source ip as well if you need to. ~ELChupathingy
