As you didn't mention the reason for generating traffic
I assume that you want to test IPv6 throughput.
A good tool for this is IPerf as found on:
http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/

Good thing about Iperf is that it's IPv4 and IPv6 capable
and as such one can test differences in throughput between 4 and 6.
One will notice that unfortunatly most of the time IPv6 is at loss
due to the current 6bone mess. When this has been cleared out, and
there are a couple of groups pondering about this I know from testing
on native links that IPv6 will have a real benefit over IPv4 when
checking throughput.
