Well, i will use ftp, time, mail, dns and web server in my test environmet. 
Instead of using a tool for each it may be nicer to use a program that will 
generate a traffic for all. So what i want is to generate a network traffic 
and maybe increase the traffic and see the firewall resistance, or test the 
rules by checking which packages passed which dont. And if possible to create 
some pie charts or graphs.

I saw some traffic generators on the net. Some are working on win machines, my 
test lab is composed of Debian machines so i prefer an opens source solution.

I am seraching now the open source traffic generators but some advice my help.
