Description

MGEN is a set of programs which provide the ability to perform IP network performance measures using UDP/IP unicast and multicast traffic. The toolset generates real-time traffic patterns so that the network can be loaded in a variety of ways. Script files are used to drive the loading patterns over the course of time. It is possible to create script files which emulate the traffic patterns of unicast or multicast UDP/IP applications. The receive portion of this tool set can dynamically join and leave IP multicast groups and log receive data and can be used to calculate statistics on received data such as throughput, packet loss rates, communication delay, etc.
