If you have access to a large enough network in a campus-size
establishment, try booting a large room (100+) full of desktop PCs with
a live CD/USB and script (or clusterSSH) some hpings, blind netcats
(large file as input), iperfs or nmap+nmapscripting) through a _good_
switch stack. Set a low mtu on the interfaces for maximum pps.

Please remember to fully air-gap it (and the redundants) from the cloud
and the rest of the campus backbone in case you have thick fingers
entering the target - your upstream might be tempted to ring you on the
BatFone in a hurry. That gets embarrassing, as a friend of mine found
out in December last year.

Other than that, I suspect it's going to cost you for "real" kit :(
Depends how "real" you need it I guess.

Kiddies seem to be able to do it with E1/T1-sized pipes so it should at
least be better than waiting for one to come your way naturally :)
