To others who might want a detailed Multicast Analysis & Testing ....
Spirent is a very good product which has helped with regards to
designing and product recommendations. Whether you're seeking functional
testing, performance testing, or you want something with test automation
and a GUI ... It's one of the top guns in that area.

I do use VLC and it does the basic multicast streaming job, but I
remember it couldn't provide a detailed analysis when we were trying to
test various multicast designs and routing hardwares from different
vendors.

Hi Group,

This is for a live network that I'm going to implement and it will need
to
support multicast for internal TV broadcasting.

I was wondering what kind of multicast source applications are you guys
using for testing multicast behaviour on your setups? Is there anything
(open source preferably) that allows you to multicast a video or audio
stream to a network?

I'd really like to test multicast streams with several megabit per sec,
in
order to make sure that in deed both platforms and links can tolerate
the
configs that I'm doing.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

Gustavo Novais
