DDOS your own compamy

I work for a company and we pay for a DDOS scrubbing center service. We have tested it in the past by having them advertise a small subnet from our public address space, and then we verify traffic is going through their scrubbing center. We have recently been asked by our Info security office to DDOS ourselves to prove the scrubbing center will work as advertised in a real attack.

Has anyone been asked to do this? Do any companies offer this as a service? If someone would offer this, couldn't this affect an ISP's other customers by possibly spiking some links in the ISP network?

I don't see a way to do this ourselves, as we would need enough bandwidth over the internet to max out my companies connectivity.
