Multicast

[londint]

We are setting up Multicast and need to monitor live traffic between multicast servers and clients. What can be simulated to carry this out?.

Unfortunately, the market that we use for multicasting closes over the weekend so we need another application that can simulate multicast.?

Does anone know of an?

Thanks

You can try Smartbit tester(ask with multicast option) which can simulate multicast traffic but it is somewhat expensive. Or another application like IXIA.

Thanks everyone. I found a very good site

http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~yumo/#tfgen

and then the mping from the microsoft site.

The above site has the

****Traffic generator "TfGen"

TfGen allows you to generate traffic on network (e.g. ethernet).

****Multicast traffic receiver "Mcast"

Thanks
