Hi everyone, we are currently testing 10GigE cut-through switches (Arista, Force10/Dell, IBM, Brocade). What are you guys using to test overall bandwidth, congestion, switch buffers and latency? Iperf and running tons of file transfers (what we do right now) does not feel like a best practice approach. There is a company called ixia which builds various testing devices (http://www.ixiacom.com/routing-switching) but I can't find anything open source or free on a Linux basis to do this.
