  "abstract": "The Multicast Ping Protocol specified in this document allows for checking whether an endpoint can receive multicast -- both Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) and Any-Source Multicast (ASM).  It can also be used to obtain additional multicast-related information, such as multicast tree setup time.  This protocol is based on an implementation of tools called \"ssmping\" and \"asmping\".
