What I did to generate traffic between 2 foneras was to create a 4MB
file with DD in a ramfs (/tmp/4M), and wget it to /dev/null on the
otherside.

I avoid using iperf now, because packet generation takes too much CPU.

Otherwise the best is to generate the traffic with computers that are
not routers.

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
