You need a packet generator that can generate PIM Register messages
fast enough. It should allow you to vary the frequency of the
messages.

I have heard about the following PIM packet generator, but I've
never used it:
http://www.pim-sm-generator.com/

You could also try Scapy which is a very powerful tool:

Then you need to design a strategy about observing the router
behavior. E.g., its CPU load, the impact on forwarding other
multicast data traffic, etc.

Are you planning to write a report or a paper on the subject?
It will be great if you can send the URL to your work once you are
done.
