I'm trying to devise a way of simulating the load that an average torrent places on a router, I.e. the numerous TCP connections + overall bandwidth usage + requirement for deep packet inspection (if you want dynamic QoS, etc).
Now, I can get all my results fine if I plug an internet connection in one end, and uTorrent on the other, but ideally, I'd like to do it in a lab scenario.
The closest thing I've come across is PeerSim, http://peersim.sourceforge.net/, but I'm a Network Engineer, not a programmer - and it seems quite complex.
Any ideas fellas?
Cheers,
FYI, the router in question is a Cisco 2811, simple PC----Router----PC Lab, Rate limited Ethernet interfaces.
