Mike, Not familiar with JDSU product. But if you are serious about IP routing and packet forwarding test, you need to take a look at test tools. Do you hear of IXIA? They have a full set of test tools that test routers.
I would suggest you try IxNetwork for control plane and forwarding plan. Their web site is http://www.ixiacom.com/ Thanks, Jingshao On 07/22/09, Michael J McCafferty wrote: > All, > We are putting together a test plan to test a pair of Cisco 7206 VXR's, > each with with NPE-G2.
