Ostinato's answer
Network engineer and programmer Srivats P created Ostinato as an alternative to pricey commercial traffic generators. You can read the full origin story.
Ostinato's answer
Advanced features at a fraction of the cost of commercial traffic generators. Outstanding customer support.

C++, Qt5, libpcap, AF_XDP
it just does the job! great support from the creator as well.
As a novice to networking protocol, I was able to understand the protocols much better with the help of Ostinato Traffic generator. With wide options to explore and support to use the same thing with python helped me and my team in understanding & testing of different protocols. Especially response from Srivats for the queries helped me step custom streams for my application.
I used Ostinato a couple years back at a different company and loved it then. Now, at a new company, purchased a new license for it and am still impressed. Super user friendly and intuitive, the creator reaches out after you buy and offers awesome support/tutorial videos.
Network engineers, this is the app to test storm control, packet rate limits, and any other feature you need to test. Also replay wireshark packet captures. So awesome.

File transfer using iperf3 over Tailscale. I noticed that the bandwidth to my home computer (on a 500/500 fiber connection) was higher than with speedtest.net. For the first few days I was getting downloads and uploads of 28Mbps (+/- std dev of 6Mbps) and 150ms latency (+/- 35ms). After somewhere around 100GB total transfer (maybe half of that over Tailscale), it is now downloading and uploading at 10Mbps (+/-... Source: over 2 years ago
I can add to this. I have two mini self contained projects to create multiarch static bins of mtr and iperf3 for general usage. Source: about 3 years ago
