RHEA-2011:0528 - 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:

All users who want to use the omping Technology Preview should install this
newly-released package, which adds this enhancement.
