Packet capture

Packet capture open original image

We have a packet capture from our network which basically showed MDNS (bonjour), RIPV2, IGMP (v1, v2, and v3), SNMP, RPC, IPv6 (for ICMP protocol), etc traffic on our network.



We would like to replay these packets in order stress test a wireless access point. Can any one think of a tool that would help us?



TIA


I use bittwist (bittwist.sourceforge.net). It will do packet generation from an existing pcap. Also allows for *some* header editing using a command line tool. Give it a try.

I'm taking my first networking class, the teacher likes this program but I'm not sure whether it will do everything you need:

The Ethereal project is dead since May 2006. The successor is called Wireshark

I'd recommend to change Wireshark, because there were several security bugs in the last 1.5 years which are not fixed in Ethereal and Wireshark hast some nice new features.

cheers

Jens, I'll definitely do that, thanks.
