Ostinato Description
You need to test traffic, whether you are testing circuit capacity, storm control, QOS, L2/L3 Forwarding, SD-WAN Application Policies, multicast snooping, or any of the many other things network engineers do in their day. The networking industry uses the Ixia/Spirent hardware as its gold standard. You may have even used them at work. Ostinato is used by thousands of network engineers to troubleshoot and verify their networks. Create packets by hand - specify protocols, protocol fields and other parameters to meet your needs. Configure and control several traffic-generating agents using a single controller. Python API with full scripting and automation features - everything you can do in the GUI you can also do through the API.

Obkio
IT teams, MSPs, and network engineers use Obkio to gain complete visibility into network performance, whether it's happening in the office, across a hybrid workforce, or in the cloud. Obkio is a Network Performance Monitoring (NPM), observability, and diagnostics platform that works by deploying lightweight monitoring agents at any location, with no special hardware required. These agents continuously measure latency, jitter, packet loss, and bandwidth, while running Visual Traceroutes to map performance across the full network path.
The platform covers SD-WAN, MPLS, and VoIP/UC monitoring, along with visibility into multi-site and distributed networks. Application performance monitoring (APM) rounds out the picture with HTTP, Web, and Teams-based synthetic tests. A standout feature, Obkio Insight, automates root-cause diagnostics, quickly showing whether a problem sits within the internal network, with an ISP, or with a third-party provider, backed by concrete performance data.
Because it deploys in minutes, Obkio gives teams fast answers instead of raw data to sift through. The result: less time troubleshooting, stronger SLA validation, and clear proof of whether the network performance they're paying for matches what they're actually getting.

WAN Killer
Focusing solely on latency or bandwidth use often falls short of what is necessary for effective network management. Engaging in network stress testing reveals the potential impact that sudden spikes in packet volume can have on the performance of network devices. The WAN Killer tool available in Engineer’s Toolset acts as a network stress testing utility by generating and dispatching packets, which helps to illustrate how devices might respond to unexpected or severe increases in traffic. Insights gained from these stress tests can guide you in fortifying your infrastructure before serious problems arise. By simulating network traffic, you adopt a proactive stance toward network performance management, which is particularly beneficial when preparing to deploy a new application across your network. Additionally, you can utilize simulated traffic to evaluate whether your application's data receives the necessary prioritization. If deficiencies are identified, you can address them to ensure that you maintain the highest quality of service possible. This proactive approach not only enhances reliability but also ensures a seamless user experience during critical operations.

A very good software to practice your QOS or other things Date: Mar 26 2024
Summary: I tried iPerf, but its only for throughput and I needed something more intelligent.
Positive: Nothing really special you need to do in order to make it run. My suggestion is to read a manual.
Negative: Not sure as of now, I would need to test it more.
