Beacon Server
The NLANR Multicast Beacon is active measurement software that monitors
the performance of a multicast session. It has two components:
Beacon Agent -- an active probing program running at each measurement machine.
A set of Beacons sends packets continuously to each other through a
multicast session, and measures the performance of the transmission. It
then reports to the Beacon Server periodically. The current version (v0.63)
is written in Java.
Beacon Server -- a central server collecting the performance information
from the Beacon Clients. The v0.8 version of the Beacon Server is written
in Perl.
