If I wanted to build a heavy-duty multicast MPEG analyzer running on FreeBSD what ports would/could I use? Are all the pieces (ports) necessary available? Are there GUI presentations available or would it pretty much be text/cli output? Anyone already got a 'home-made' analyzer up and running at work?
Input to analyzer would be ethernet/ip, multicast, and up to a full gig of video traffic. Heck, assuming I have no issues with a 10Gbps NIC I'd even try that.
Speaking of NICs, can anyone recommend 10Gbps fiber NICs and motherboard combos that work great with FreeBSD?
EDIT - the interest is in providing deep analysis of the video quality; not just stuff like packet loss, jitter, etc.
