Well, depends what you have in mind by route injection. There's a difference between a full routing implementation, and something like BGPsim, which can play back (or generate) updates. Now, I can't speak to a specific product, but many of the standalone protocol analyzers I've worked with let you send prerecorded traffic.
That's probably your only alternative for (E)IGRP. At 8:20 AM -0400 5/3/02, John Dorffler wrote: >Howard, thanks for the reply.
