What is Paessler NetFlow Generator?

NetFlow Generator

NetFlow Generator is a handy tool that creates fake NetFlow Version 5 data streams. The best part? You don’t need any special hardware to use it! This makes it super easy to test how well PRTG or any other NetFlow compatible programs work.

How Does It Work?

This software runs right on your PC and sends out NetFlow 5 Packets using UDP to a target computer. That computer then processes all the incoming data. With the NetFlow Generator, you can create different traffic patterns and loads, which is pretty cool for testing purposes!

Creating Traffic Patterns

While you’re running the simulator, it generates NetFlow packets filled with details about your chosen traffic pattern. These packets look just like what a router or switch would send if it were monitoring that same traffic pattern. But don't worry—the actual simulated traffic isn’t generated; you're just getting the packet data.

Why Use NetFlow Generator?

If you're looking to test network performance or monitor how well your systems handle traffic, download the NetFlow Generator here! It’s perfect for making sure everything runs smoothly without needing complex setups.

The Benefits

This generator is great because it saves you time and money. No need for fancy equipment—just your PC and this software will do the trick! Plus, you'll have more control over testing different scenarios without any hassle.
