Try netsend! Netsend was build for protocol testing and optimized for linux. SCTP and DCCP are supported, beside TCP, UDP, UDPLite and TIPC.

Install Subversion and build-essential ("aptitude install subversion build-essential"), check out the repository "svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/netsend/trunk";, change to the source directory "cd trunk", execute configure "./configure" and voilà! Now you can start netsend in receive and transmit mode. Maybe some day a nice debain packet will be appear ... ;-) HGN -- Hagen Paul Pfeifer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> || http://jauu.net/ Telephone: +49 174 5455209 || Key Id: 0x98350C22 Key Fingerprint: 490F 557B 6C48 6D7E 5706 2EA2 4A22 8D45 9835 0C22 Always in motion, the future is.
