Multicast Traffic Generator Windows 8
Cotherm Type Tse Manual Meat. When testing networks and routing, it is sometimes useful to be able to send a number of multicast streams across the network. Can do this, but getting it working is not as trivial as I expected. Here’s how to do it: • In the Media menu, choose “Stream” • In the Open Media dialog file tab, click “add” and choose the file you want to stream and click “Open” • At the bottom, click the “Stream” button • This opens the “Stream Output” dialog showing the source file you have chosen.
Click Next to set destination. • In “Destinations”, choose “RTP /MPEG Transport Stream” and click the “Add” button • In the “Address” box, enter the required multicast address (eg 239.255.0.1) and set the port (or leave default at 5004) • In transcoding options, choose the appropriate settings for your video and PC’s codecs. I chose “Video H.264 + MP3 (MP4)”. I had to set the options by clicking the options (screwdriver and spanner) button immediately to the right of the dropdown. In encapsulation, I chose MPEG-TS. In video codec, I set the bitrate to 4000kb/s • Once the options are set, click “Save”. Then click Next for “Option Setup” and select “Stream all elementary streams” then click stream. To view the stream, open another instance of VLC media player (try it on the same PC before trying it over the network) • Choose Media/Open Network Stream • In address, enter rtp://@239.255.0.1:5004 – choose the correct address and port you entered when setting up the stream.

Also, and don't forget about that, you have to modify the TTL of the multicast packets generated by VLC, if not, the first PIM router will drop the traffic. Just looked at and note that some of the functionality is only available in windows. I don't know.
Don’t forget to enter the “@” symbol after “rtp://” and before the multicast ip address! • Click “Play” If you want to stream multiple videos, remember to choose an different multicast address and/or port. I am really confused I just downloaded VLC 2.2.1 The main purpose for the download was so I could setup lab testing for multicast network design I have read the previous post and some other pages on how to setup VLC but all of the options or choices mentioned do not exist when I launch VLC. Algorithm For Chess Program For Beginners. I downloaded VLC for use on a MAC Book Pro. As an example the first step in a post was to select the ‘Media’ menu.
In my VLC application there is no media menu All I see is the standard menu setup. (File, Edit, View, Playback, Audio, Video) There is no media menu choice. The navigation tree on the left only has (Library, Local Network, My Network etc) There is a streaming exporting wizard but the options for this do not match up with the choices described in the post I tried to go through it, however, the options don’t seem right For example through the wizard I made the following choices. Stream to netowrk 2. I chose a local video file 3.
On the streaming page I chose RTP/Multicast and the IP address I used 239.255.0.1 shouldn’t there a port number with this IP though? The next page ask for a transcode. I didn’t know what to choose so I guessed Mpeg-4 for video and audio 5. Encapsulation format was left at default. The last page I set the TTL to 11 After clicking finish nothing happens.
How do I know if VLC is even working or how do I view the stream on another PC or MAC.
