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.

TRex
TRex is a cost-effective, open-source traffic generator that can operate in both stateful and stateless modes, leveraging DPDK for efficient performance. Capable of producing L3-7 traffic, it consolidates the functions of multiple commercial tools into a single solution. The stateless features allow for the management of various streams, modifications to packet fields, and provide detailed statistics, including latency and jitter for each stream or group. Its advanced stateful capabilities enable the emulation of Layer 7 traffic, offering comprehensive support for TCP and UDP protocols. Furthermore, TRex is equipped to simulate a diverse array of client-side protocols such as ARP, IPv6, ND, MLD, IGMP, ICMP, DOT1X, DHCPv4, DHCPv6, and DNS, thereby creating a realistic environment for testing the scalability of clients and servers. With its robust functionality, TRex stands out as a versatile tool for network testing and performance evaluation.

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.
