I need to test a solution that will help us to control traffic on our local network.
Basically, I need to generate traffic to test this solution on a fairly large scale. It is something along the lines of DDoS mitigation.
anyway, what I need is to be able to test with something like FTP. In short, single server with multiple clients (as many as possible) all trying to connect with as many connections as possible (say more than 5). The solution I am testing will limit these connections to 1, 2 or 3 or whatever I choose. I need to determine how well the solution scales and how far I can push it.
Ideally, I would need a thousand users to try download some file from an FTP server with a download manager and use as many connections as possible and then see if I can keep the server running while traffic is flowing and connections are being limited.
So my question is, how do I simulate this or generate this kind of traffic?? Or is there another way to test (that does not involve "live" traffic or real people sitting behind PC's or virtual machines....)
Thanks in advance

but yes, that would work great
