Tools to generate broadcast traffic

We have following tools to generate broadcast traffic :

1) ping command :

  In Linux : ping -f -b "network-address"

  In Windows : ping "network-address"

E.g.   ping -f -b 192.168.10.255 ( Linux)
         ping (192.168.10.255 (Windows)

2) Lanevel tool : A very easy-to-use interface for generating broadcast traffic.

You can download from here:

3) Iperf :  http://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf/

Server :
iperf -c 192.168.10.255 -i 2 -t 60 -b 10000 -u"

Client:
"iperf -s -i 2 -u"

This will work fine for windows client,but may have problem with Linux .

4) Colasoft Tools :http://www.colasoft.com/
