Traffic generator for SD-WAN pilot

We're about to kick off a pilot of two vendors SD-WAN solutions, and one of the things we're most interested in is application aware routing (e.g. route http traffic over link A, and FTP traffic over link B), and context-aware routing (e.g. route traffic to Website1 over link A and traffic to Website2 over link B).

I was thinking that I'd need to set up a webserver, and FTP server and maybe one other in order to demonstrate this, but I was wondering if there was something that could auto-simulate this sort of traffic, ideally statefully. Cisco TRex, Solarwinds WAN Killer and Ostinato look like options. Does anyone have any advice on whether these are worth trying for what we want to achieve? Any other tools we should be looking at?

Cheers!

Kevin
