Sat Oct 30 02:43:04 PDT 1993 This is a network manager's utility for 'mapping' all or part of a DVMRP-based multicast backbone such as the MBone. It can be used either stand-alone to determine the multicast topology or in conjunction with mrdebug(1) to determine multicast routes. Note that since mrmap has to do i/o to a raw igmp socket, it must either but installed suid to root or run by root. (We suggest the latter -- there's no reason casual users should run this program and no reason to run it so frequently that installing it suid would have any advantage.) In addition to the binary, source, makefile & man page, this directory should contain two awk scripts: "mergemaps map1 map2 ..." will merge the information from multiple mrmap runs into a single map file. "comparemaps map1 map2" will compare two map files & print their differences. Please let us know of any problems, questions, suggestions, etc., via mail to mrmap@ee.lbl.gov. Thanks. - Van Jacobson (van@ee.lbl.gov)
