Stress testing a WAN link

Looking to do some stress tests on a 10 meg WAN link in both directions. I'm looking for a piece of software that will allow me to simulate a given number of MBps of traffic.

I've used solarwinds WAN Kill many times. It works great, but can only really be used at one end of the link. If I install it on a PC on the remote end of the link and generate too much traffic, the link goes down, the PC continues to hammer the link, and I have no way of accessing the PC to stop it. Anyone know of any software that would allow me to set a time limit for traffic generation? i.e. "generate

10 MBps for 10 minutes and then stop."

Thanks

I've never used it, but I think Cisco SLA is supposed to do just what you are looking for:

Also, NetIQ comes to mind.

Hope that helps,
