NAME

       is_multicast_ether_addr - Determine if the Ethernet address is a multicast.

SYNOPSIS

       bool is_multicast_ether_addr(const u8 * addr);

ARGUMENTS

       addr
	   Pointer to a six-byte array containing the Ethernet address

DESCRIPTION

       Return true if the address is a multicast address. By definition the broadcast address is also a multicast address.

NAME

     mtest -- test multicast socket operations

SYNOPSIS

     mtest

DESCRIPTION

     The mtest utility is a small program for testing multicast socket operations.

     It accepts the following commands, interactively, or as part of a scripted input file (useful for automated testing):

	   a ifname mac-addr	     Join the link-layer group address mac-addr on interface ifname.  The group address should be in IEEE 802 MAC
				     format, delimited by colon (':') characters.
	   d ifname mac-addr	     Leave the link-layer group address mac-addr on interface ifname.
	   m ifname 1/0 	     Set or reset ALLMULTI mode on interface ifname.  This option is deprecated and is now a no-op.
	   p ifname 1/0 	     Set or reset promiscuous mode on interface ifname.

	   j mcast-addr ifname [source-addr]
				     Join the multicast address mcast-addr on the interface with name ifname.

				     If an optional source source-addr is specified, a source-specific join will be performed; if mtest is already
				     joined to the multicast address, the source will be added to its filter list.

	   l mcast-addr ifname [source-addr]
				     Leave the multicast address mcast-addr on the interface with address ifname.  If a source source-addr is
				     specified, only that source will be left.
	   i mcast-addr ifname n source-addr ...
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to include filter mode, and add n sources
				     beginning with source-addr to the inclusion filter list.
	   e mcast-addr ifname n source-addr ...
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to exclude filter mode, and add n sources
				     beginning with source-addr to the exclusion filter list.
	   t mcast-addr ifname source-addr
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to block traffic from source source-addr.
	   b mcast-addr ifname source-addr
				     Set the socket with membership of mcast-addr on interface ifname to allow traffic from source source-addr.

	   g mcast-addr ifname n     Print n source filter entries for mcast-addr on interface ifname.

	   f filename		     Read commands from the file filename.
	   s n			     Sleep for n seconds.
	   ?			     List legal commands.
	   q			     Quit the program.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     For each command implemented by mtest, the address family of each argument must be identical; it is not possible to mix IPv4 multicast mem-
     berships with IPv6, for example.

     To support IPv6, all commands have now changed to accept an interface name rather than an interface address.  For IPv4, the program will per-
     form a lookup of the primary IP address based on the interface name.  This may fail if no primary IP address is assigned.
