Hi all, I'm looking for some linux test tools that I can run that will send IGMP join commands and that will respond to IGMP queries (to keep the group alive), that I can use to prove or disprove a sparse mode pim configuration. There's such a blatent lack of matches for anything like this on google that I wonder if I'm overlooking some basic utility that is already included with most distros or is built into the kernel, but I can't come up with anything on that front either. Using a Cisco router or switch as a multicast group member is a possibility, but I'd rather use linux hosts if I can do so.

Just to get the ball rolling <g> You have looked at XORP havent you? http://www.xorp.org/getting_started.html
Hi Ian Check out these 2 simple bits of C code I found somewhere on the net. I modify the address and port, compile and run these for testing a lot, The client will join a group and respond to queries with a report... The server sends MC data packets once a second. http:// tac.alliedtelesyn.com/ mserver.c http:// tac.alliedtelesyn.com/ mclient.c (take out spaces to make link work...)
