creating traffic graphs

[Simone Neugierig]

Hi,

im looking for a working solution to create traffic graphs, to see how good my settings work. the author of htb has some nice graphs and also offers the tools for them, but i was unable to compile them or find a debian/ubuntu package.
printing via gnuplot is probably the easiest part, but looking for a packet generator wasnt that easy as i thought.
there are a lot out there that are specific to some cases or are very unintuitive.
what do you guys use?
