Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new omping package is now available as a Technology Preview for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Open Multicast Ping (omping) is a tool for testing IP multicast functionality, primarily on a LAN (local area network). It allows users to test multicast and receive sufficient information to detect whether a potential problem exists in the network configuration, or lies elsewhere, as might be the case with a bug.

This enhancement update adds a new omping package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as a Technology Preview. (BZ#657370)

More information about Red Hat Technology Previews is available here:
