Agilent Technologies’ automated PIM-SM Conformance Test Suite is the ideal solution for network equipment manufacturers and service providers to test their multicast-enabled routers. A comprehensive set of test scripts allows for testing of these routers and verifies conformance to the evolving IETF standard for Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM). This automated test suite provides an out-of-the-box solution that will save considerable time and resources during the development and integration stages as well as during the subsequent deployment phase.
