DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|PROGRAM| is a program for initiating multicast traceroute, or "mtrace", queries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can initiate two types of mtrace queries: weak and group.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Weak tests whether the interfaces towards the source are multicast enabled and is
|
||
|
|
initiated by supplying only the multicast source address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Group tests whether there is multicast routing protocol state for particular
|
||
|
|
multicast group and is initiated by supplying mutlicast source and group.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first query sent is a full query, capable of crossing the network all the way
|
||
|
|
to the source. If this fails, hop-by-hop queries are initiated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hop-by-hop queries start by requesting only a response from the nearest router.
|
||
|
|
Following that, next query is extended to the next two routers, and so on...
|
||
|
|
until a set of routers is tested for connectivity.
