Keith,
Cisco's IPTV is way cool.... They have both a Hardware based one and
software only to install on your servers ... They may have a demo to just
download , and install , the only benefit I know of that the hardware
combination provides is they come with external mpeg encoders to hook
external vcr and cameras etc on.... But it is great for multicast testing ,
I have played with it in office and is very easy to set up..

Subject: Multicast - Simulating Large-Scale Deployments
Hey Everyone,
I'm planning to run a demonstration on how multicast can efficiently be
used to deploy thousands of software images across an enterprise
(simulating tens of thousands of PCs). I plan to demonstrate the
differences between PIM SM and PIM DM along with DVMRP and others
(hopefully).
I know one of the largest simulation applications for this would be
Symantec Ghost, but I'm not sure if this product is intended for the
largest-scale deployments. Are there any others that you use or know of
to deploy loadsets to many PCs through a multicasting application?
While I know the multicast technology does not differ from product to
product, I want the simulation to be as "real-world" for my audience as
possible. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
