4.202. omping 4.202.1. RHEA-2011:1576 - omping bug fix and enhancement update An updated omping package that fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements is now available as a Technology Preview for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. 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. The omping package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.0.4, which provides a number of bug fixes and the following enhancements: support for Source Specific Multicast (SSM); support for broadcast; single node mode, which allows users to detect a misconfigured local firewall; more precise and rich statistics; rate limiting; duplicate packet detection. BZ# 696747 Users are advised to upgrade to this updated omping package, which resolves these bugs and adds these enhancements. Note that this package is included as a Technology Preview.
