Generate specific packets to test the network

If some packets are being delivered as expected while others are not, or after you believe you have fixed the problem, it is a good idea to generate specific traffic to test your network.

For example if you discover through log messages and packet sniffing that Create PDP Context Request messages are not being delivered between two SGSNs, you can generate those specific messages on your network to confirm they are the problem, and later that you have solved the problem and they are now being delivered as expected.

This step requires a third party traffic generation tool, either hardware or software. This is not be supported by Fortinet.
