Test for MCast...Any?? [7:58269]
Hello,Is there a way to test/practise MCast configs. on the Internet? I have a cable-modem connected to a 2514 router and would like to configure MCast on it as well as my Lab routers behind that for PIM-SM. I have a laptop connected as a client to one of the routers. How can I verify that MCast is working on the laptop? I mean, is there a freeware/shareware application that I can install on my laptop to test (since I cannot obviously have IP/TV client on my laptop).Or is there any other way to do it in the Lab routers themselves.Any basic configs/examples provided is greatfully appreciated.Thank you for your help.Sincerely,CN MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=58269&t=58269 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you'd just like to send some test multicast traffic and see if your receiving it elsewhere, you can try my multicast testing program at http://mc-mint.sourceforge.net It's free under the GPL. I very much doubt it will run under windows though, you probably would want to use Linux with it. In my lab I used two old 300 MHz PCs to generate traffic with it and I've been able to fill some pretty big pipes.

Mike - By any chance have you tested running your program on a Windows PC using Cygwin? I'm not a Linux person (yet...), and I figured this might be a passable way for PC-based users to use MINT.

BJ, That's a great idea actually. I've never tested it and I don't have a PC to try it on right now, but I think it's very likely to compile on Cygwin. Like I said, I can't try it, but if you do please let me know. On Mon, 2002-12-02 at 08:50, B.J.
