There are tools in that port which will allow you to run basic UDP stream tests as well as installing static entries in the forwarding cache. The most likely culprit is a network interface which does not support ALLMULTI. Also, DVMRP has been dead for years, avoid mrouted -- try a PIM implementation e.g. XORP or pimsd. thanks BMS
