Hi,

You may need some traffic generators like IXIA, Spirent etc.

Hi nagendra

this is a devices , ex spirent , right 

can i achieve the same as paul mentioned via MQC

thanks

Hi Ibrahim,

Yes, it is a device to pump traffic. Ping is one way of generating traffic, but i think it might be hard to get line rate of traffic. The other option is to configure multiple IP SLA with less frequency and bigger packet size.

Hi! 

You can also use this traffic generator which is just an application you can download it from the web site. Please refer to the following document authored by me for details:

Hope it helps, best regards!

Hello

Apply a continuous ping from one asr to the other with a large packet size and (assuming no other traffic is ring used)

Then on the receiving asr apply a policy map to capture the traffic

policy-map Test

Class class-default

int x//x

load-interval 30

service policy input Test

Hi Paul

do i need any class-map

shall the ping < other end > size <1gb> enough to let PRTG show me the pipe is fully utilized

thanks

Hello

No need for a class map as you are matching on any traffic hitting the other rtr, Unless you do have other traffic traversing the link at the same time and want to match on say specific ICMP.then yes use a class-map and possibly an acl aswell to match on protocol and source

Forgot to mention to post the show command for the receiving rtr policy map

sh policy-map interface x/x

I would use two PC (one connected to each router) with iPerf to test it.

Never used the Java version, but there are numerous howtos on the internet like the following:
