NAME

pmsft - protocol-independent Multicast Source Filter Testing Tool

SYNOPSIS

pmsft [file]

DESCRIPTION

The pmsft utility specifies a Multicast Source Filter (MSF) using APIs specified in Socket Interface Extention for MSF (RFC3678). Since pmsft adopts a protocol-independent API, both IPv4 and IPv6 MSF are supported. pmsft specifies an MSF on command-prompt "pmsft>". Here is the list of commands that can be specified: j grp ifname join a group grp on interface ifname. l group ifname leave a group grp on interface ifname. i grp ifname num set an include mode MSF for group grp on interface ifname. (followed by num lines of source addresses) e grp ifname num set an exclude mode MSF for group grp on interface ifname. (followed by num lines of source addresses) t grp ifname src accept multicast packets from src to grp on interface ifname b grp ifname src deny multicast packets from src to grp on interface ifname g grp ifname num get and show MSF regarding group grp on interface ifname (atmost num sources). s seconds sleep for the specified seconds. f filename read command(s) from file filename. q quit pmsft If there is an optional argument file , it is equivalent to the following command: pmsft> f file
