I am trying to do some analysis for MPLS Linux using
RSVP-TE by IBCN. I am trying tp meausre bandwidth and
throghput in MPLS network versus non-mpls.I am
surprised to see in my network of two LSRs+ Ingress+
Egress. Delay in MPLS network is around 6milliseconds,
while that in non-mpls, using ospf signalling is 2.5
milliseconds. I think this is becuase LERs (Ingress
and Egress) takes lot more  time than LSRs. James can
you please provide me some coments on this. 

What are the other tests that can be performed?

 using some

I am not sure what kind of toolkit are you looking for
I am using a traffic generating software.
 I would love to try it out against

I will also try to do the same testing against Cisco's
3600 some day.
Thanks,
Nitin
