How can I generate traffic on a Cisco ASA?

In a lot of locations, we have only one Cisco ASA 5505 each and one or more WiFi APs, besides the provider router. No servers or PCs, just WiFi service for occasional visitors. I want to remotely check if the provider gives us the contracted bandwidth. I could see used bandwidth on the ASA monitoring, and test one direction by sending traffic to the ASA using Iperf on my side.

Is there any way to let the ASA generate substantial traffic?
