12
14 mtracebis is a program for initiating multicast traceroute, or
15 "mtrace", queries.
16
17 It can initiate two types of mtrace queries: weak and group.
18
19 Weak tests whether the interfaces towards the source are multicast
20 enabled and is initiated by supplying only the multicast source
21 address.
22
23 Group tests whether there is multicast routing protocol state for par‐
24 ticular multicast group and is initiated by supplying mutlicast source
25 and group.
26
27 The first query sent is a full query, capable of crossing the network
28 all the way to the source. If this fails, hop-by-hop queries are initi‐
29 ated.
30
31 Hop-by-hop queries start by requesting only a response from the nearest
32 router. Following that, next query is extended to the next two
33 routers, and so on... until a set of routers is tested for connectiv‐
34 ity.

41 This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line
42 options. The definitive document is the info file frr 7.1 or the docu‐
43 mentation available on the project website at https://frrouting.org/.

46 The daemon may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or
47 through syslog to the system logs. FRR supports many debugging options,
48 see the Info file, web docs or source for details.
