      Tcpreplay, NIDS Performance Tool
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DETAILS

     <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpreplay> Tcpreplay is a set of tools
    aimed at testing the performance of a NIDS by replaying real background
    network traffic in which to hide attacks. Tcpreplay allows you to control
    the speed at which the traffic is replayed, and can replay arbitrary
    tcpdump traces. Unlike programmatically-generated artificial traffic which
    doesn't exercise the application/protocol inspection that a NIDS performs,
    and doesn't reproduce the real-world anomalies that appear on production
    networks (asymmetric routes, traffic bursts/lulls, fragmentation,
    retransmissions, etc.). Tcpreplay allows for exact replication of real
    traffic seen on real networks. Changes: This stable release includes
    numerous bug fixes and feature enhancements, and all users are encouraged
    to upgrade.
