Looking for a bgp stressing tool

Hi,

We are currently trying to migrate our AS from Linux/quagga to
NanoBSD/openbgpd.

We want to validate our model. Please find below the test platform we use:

 __________      __________     __________
|          |    |          |   |          |
| router A |    | router B |   | router C |
|__________|    |__________|   |__________|
      \             |           /
       \            |          /
     ___\___________|_________/__
    |                            |
    |    router Nanobsd Test     |
    |____________________________|

- routers A, B and C got one third of the internet routes each (82Kroutes).
- routers A, B and C announce those routes to the nanobsd running an
openbgpd

We want to stress the nanobsd router to see how many packets/s it could 
treat, in a quite true real situation.

So we are looking for a tool that inject and verify packet with faked
IPs. We want to generate fake traffic between A-B A-C B-C in both directions.
The aim is to evaluate the routing capacity of openbgpd/freebsd.

We currently didn't find any tool that fit our needs. Do you have any
suggestion ?

Thanks,
