Well, as Stef said, anyway that's why I need (because UDP won't ask for 
replies)
However, the problem I encountered with MGEN is that it does not accept 
to blindly send udp packets: it first try to resolve the address of the 
remote station (which in my case does not exist).
As I was away, I've just started again to look seriously at the problem 
so I still have to try Bartek and Ashok solutions.
Up to know, I've discarded:
   - linux's kernel traffic generator: it bypasses traffic control
   - ttcp because TCP does not suit in my case
   - tg: because of an installation error :) Too lazy to even check in 
the documentation if it worths tring to install it.
   - mgen: as I said above, it doesn't accept to blindly sens udp 
packets but first try to resolve the remote address
   - ping -f: flooding is ok, but I cannot modify parameters (ports, 
adresses) as I'd like to (well, I could start many pings with different 
parameters at once) and it needs acknowledgements.

And I still have to try:
   - udpgen: I have to modify the makefile to install it
   - hping2
   - spak

Tahnk you guys anyway.
By the way, Ashok you may find something that fits your needs in that list.
