Iperf works really well: http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/ It will do tcp/udp/multicast; you can pick the rate on the udp side and the client/server architecture lets you measure jitter, out of order packets, loss, etc. So you could load up a fixed rate of udp and then produce your burst using a second copy, etc. to see what happens.
