NAME
     collectd-tg - Traffic generator for collectd.

SYNOPSIS
     collectd-tg  -n  num_vl  -H num_hosts -p num_plugins -i interval -d dest -D
     dport

DESCRIPTION
     collectd-tg generates bogus collectd network traffic.  While  host,  plugin
     and  values  are  generated  randomly, the generated traffic tries to mimic
     "real" traffic as closely as possible.

     ments generally doesn't matter, as long as no argument is passed more  than

	 Defaults to the IPv6 multicast address, "ff18::efc0:4a42".
