Subject: [MBONED] ssmping testers wanted

Hi,

A new implementation of the Multicast Ping Protocol (RFC 6450), ssmping, will be available very soon. The protocol tests multicast connectivity from a remote source.

We're looking for testers in the next 2-4 weeks. The client and/or server code runs on a Linux platform. It supports both ssmping/asmping and IPv4/IPv6. We believe this is the first implementation; Stig’s code is an earlier version based on a draft spec.

If anyone would like access to the source code and/or to host a server please reply to me, or contact Benjamin Dudiak-Fry at [email-masked].

The aim is to make the implementation publicly available via sourceforge or similar once the testing is completed.

Thanks,
Tim
