Actually, the looking glasses at http://www.multicast.org.uk/lg/ and
http://mi6.uninett.no/ssmping/ are web interfaces for ssmping. That is,
when you submit, you launch the ssmping (or asmping) client application,
and you get the output from that on the web page. The term "looking
glass" is a bit misleading.

I would welcome more such looking glasses. It's very simple to install.
It's also quite useful in that it can allow someone to see whether they
or some other multicast source can be receives by others.

There may be looking glasses I'm not aware of. I would appreciate any
info.

The perhaps main thing that is missing is a gui interface on Windows.
Writing a Java front-end would probably not be so hard (it could just
launch the existing client) and would work on other platforms as well.
Of course a complete Java client implementation would be even nicer, but
more work and requiring Java SSM support.
