mrinfo

mrinfo is a multicast routing tool that requests configuration information from mrouted and prints the information to standard out. By default, configuration information for the local instance of mrouted is returned. You can override the default request to the local instance of mrouted by specifying an alternate router IP address or system name.

Type man 1m mrinfo for additional information on using mrinfo.

map-mbone

map-mbone is a multicast routing tool that requests multicast router connection information from mrouted and prints the "connection map" information to standard out. By default (no alternate router address specified), the request message is sent to all the multicast routers on the local network. If map-mbone discovers new neighbor routers from the replies it receives, it sends an identical request to those routers. This process continues until the list of new neighbors has been exhausted.

Type man 1m map-mbone for additional information on using map-mbone.

netstat

netstat is a tool that can be used to display multicast-related information including network statistics and multicast routing table contents.

Type man 1m netstat for additional information on using netstat.
