Need software that generates network traffic

[rudder]

Anyone know of a software package that can generate lots of network traffic between two servers? I suppose I could just initiate a large file transfer, but I would rather like to have something that does it without any intervention.

What's a lot?

Are you trying to test load capacity or just want there to be constant activity?

Mainly I need constant activity. Its a nortel gigbit switch and I have 2 servers with gigabit nics and 3 server with 100mbit nics attached, I would like to at least try to stress it with those.
