ClickToSecure (www.clicktosecure.com) makes a nice (Windows NT/2000 based) tool that can do this (among many other things related to network security/application testing). I have used it to test my IDS systems for packet loss under heavy loads. The product is called Hailstorm. It has a somewhat hefty pricetag associated with it though. If all you need is load testing it might be too expensive. If you have a use for the other features (and there are quite a few of them) the product it may be worth it. You can request a an eval from their website.
