7 - Check the source is issuing multicast packets with TTL high enough
8 to reach the recipients.
10 - Check the multicast packets are not being dropped due to
11 fragmentation problems.
13 - Three easy options to test IGMPv3 joins from the receiver host:
15 1) Configure pimd on the receiver host with "ip igmp join":
19 ip igmp join 239.1.1.1 1.1.1.1
21 2) Use test_igmpv3_join command-line utility (provided with qpimd):
23 test_igmpv3_join eth0 239.1.1.1 1.1.1.1
25 3) User the Stig Venaas' ssmping utility:
27 ssmping -I eth0 1.1.1.1
29 To see multicast responses with ssmping, you will need run on
30 the host 1.1.1.1 either:
31 a) Stig Venaas' ssmpingd command-line daemon
33 b) qpimd built-in ssmpingd service:
37 - Using nepim to generate multicast stream from 1.1.1.1 to 239.1.1.1:
41 a) The host unicast address 1.1.1.1 must be reachable from the
44 b) nepim tool requires the receiver must be started *before* the
47 First: Start a receiver for that stream by running:
49 nepim -q -6 -j 1.1.1.1+239.1.1.1@eth0
50 (Remember of enabling both "ip pim ssm" and "ip igmp" under eth0.)
52 Second: Start the sender at host 1.1.1.1.
54 The following command generates a 100-kbps multicast stream for
55 channel 1.1.1.1,239.1.1.1 with TTL 10 and 1000-byte payload per UDP
56 packet (to avoid fragmentation):
58 nepim -6 -M -b 1.1.1.1 -c 239.1.1.1 -T 10 -W 1000 -r 100k -a 1d
68 test pim receive hello eth0 192.168.0.2 600 10 111 1000 3000 0
69 test pim receive join eth0 600 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 239.1.1.1 1.1.1.1
