Ixia‘s free Qcheck utility is simply the easiest way to go if you want to dig in and do your own testing on networking equipment. It’s basically a subset of Ixia’s more powerful IxChariot network performance testing program with an easy-to-use interface, and best of all….it’s free!

You do have to fill out a form to request the download because Ixia hopes that you’ll like what you see and want to buy the full-featured Chariot, but that’s a small price to pay for such a handy tool

I’ve used Qcheck for all my network product testing since I found it a couple of years ago, and I highly recommend it! Download and have fun!

Multicasting and the Small Network, Part 3

I've covered some of the basic elements of Multicasting, such as IGMP and the Layer 2 switching components in my previous posts (Part 2). This article will go into the technology behind Multicasts at Layer 3 and some of the issues limiting wider use of Multicast technology.

As you recall in my first post, I observed that Yahoo's transmissions of live NHL games would seem to be good candidates for Multicast, yet were being sent as unicast. Then I covered the simple issue of enabling Multicast within a local area network. Coming full circle, here we are diving into Multicast technology to understand why it isn't more widespread.
