Sending probes to range of IP addresses

[raszuk]

Is there a way when defining streams to configure sending probes to range of IP addresses ?

Use case:

I am injecting ISIS virtual topology say with 1000 external IP address. BNG Blaster is so cool that it responds to ping on all injected IP addresses !

But how can I define stream such that blaster will randomly be sending probes to all defined range of addresses and reporting those which are still unreachable ? Or there is break in communication to some of them ?

This is to measure how long it takes for routers to install all virtual topology both during initial protocol convergence (say ISIS or BGP) or to make sure there is no impact to any destination during some network events ?

Thx !!!

You could setup a PING client in BNG Blaster or setup some RAW streams.

Do you have any examples how to setup RAW streams to a defined range or to N random addresses within a range ? Thx a lot !

Unfortunately there are no ranges, you need to define each stream manually.
