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.

It occurs to me that QUIC could benefit from a single kernel-level coordinator that can be plugged for cooperation - for instance, a dynamic bandwidth-throttling implementation a la https://tripmode.ch/ for slower connections where the coordinator can look at pre-encryption QUIC headers, not just the underlying (encrypted) UDP packets. So perhaps I was hasty to say that you just need SOCK_DGRAM after all! - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
I've had this app for that bookmarked for a long time but haven't tried it. Source: 10 months ago
I use https://tripmode.ch/ for just such a thing. It works great, just whitelist the apps you want to have network access on a given hotspot and it blocks the rest. Source: about 1 year ago

A port of https://ostinato.org/ would be nice! Source: about 1 year ago
