How to stress test a telnet server application?

Hi, We're writing a script that listens for packets of data sent to particular ip and port. Does anyone know how we could go about stress testing the script by bombarding the port with packets of data? I was looking at Apache Benchmark which is similar to what we need although it only sends http requests and we have specific strings of data we need to send. Cheers, Tom

If you don't want to get involved in the lower level API of say C and Perl, you could just use nc (network cat). Something similar to this: Regards
