Whilst not a replacement for deep network diagnostic tools - such simple application layer multicast tools like NicNak are IMO invaluable.

Surprised there aren't more of them around!

I’d be interested to know what other options are around, it’s the only one I’ve come across to be honest and debugging multicast is such a pain.
Great little tool - saved me a lot of time when trying to debug multicast based software.
