For the better part of the last ten years I have been working with multicast in one way or another. I’ve used many different tools for testing, but on most systems I usually resort to ping(1) and tcpdump(1), which are quite sufficient. However, you often need to tell bridges (switches) to open up multicast in your general direction for your pings to get through, so you need to send an IGMP “join” first. Way back in 2006 I stumbled upon a neat tool called mcjoin, written by David Stevens...
