Mantra (Monitor and Analysis of Traffic in Multicast Routers) is a tool for monitoring
various aspects of multicast at the router level. The results from Mantra are aimed to
depict the snapshots of various constituents of the multicast infrastructure from the
point of view of the router/s that we are monitoring. These snapshots, presented in
several different modes, form the basis (and the main objective!) of this site. The
following links lead to a collection of web pages displaying some of the latest results
from our monitoring efforts. The results presented here are updated routinely and at
frequent intervals. Through the links that follow, updated information is also available
about the current state of multicast, description of our project, links to other useful
multicast resources etc.
