All things related to multicast

[Laurence Kirchmeier <>]

The application mcfirst which is part of ssmping package from Stig Venaas will receive SSM traffic.

You can download the package which contains the source from http://www.venaas.no/multicast/ssmping/ 

Here's the description:

mcfirst

This is a tool to check whether you can receive a given multicast transmission. It supports both ASM and SSM, and IPv4 and IPv6. You run it specifying multicast group (and source if SSM) and port number. It will then run until it receives a single multicast packet, and tell you how long it took. Optionally you may specify how many packets and/or for how many seconds it shall run. If you specify how long to run, it will also tell you how many bits and packets per second were received.

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any SSM receivers that I can run on debian or Win XP.  I am looking to Lab SSM multicast behavior and I have a source but my rtpqual program is non-SSM based.

Thanks,
