So to answer your question, I think it really depends on how 
the application itself handles UDP traffic, adapts to any 
sort of RTT measurements, delay/jitter, etc.

Hello Fergie,

You are right - but there must be some sort of tool that can generate udp
packets at a specified rate (or bandwidth) and measure if they are arriving
in order, if there is loss and what the jitter is or something like that.
Does anyone know some kind of tool?

Gunther
