Yes , Netcat can be used to generate all sorts of traffic including Udp and IPV6 type traffic .
See examples below :
nc -u -4 10.90.100.1 514 , the u option is udp , -4 option is Ipv4 and 514 is the port . In this example I am generating udp traffic for the syslog port 514 to test udp connectivity
nc -t -4 10.90.100.1 443 - the t option is tcp , -4 option is Ipv4 and 514 is the port . In this example I am generating tcp traffic for the https port 443 to test tcp connectivity
