I've gotten RPMs of the MultiMON multicast monitor built. It's webpage is
http://www.merci.crc.doc.ca/mbone/MultiMON. Unfortunately, it looks like 
its less than we want in a multicast monitor. If you want to try it out, 
you need to install the following RPMs on one of your Linux boxes:

http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/RPMS/multimon-tcpdump-3 
.4-1.i386.rpm
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/RPMS/multimon-xplot-0.8 
9-1.i386.rpm
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/RPMS/multimon-tcldp-4.0 
-1.i386.rpm
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/RPMS/multimon-2.0-4.i38 
6.rpm


MultiMON is a client/server thing. Run the server:

	/usr/local/ag/bin/MultiMON.server

You will have to run the server as root, since it uses tcpdump which 
doesn't by default have root access.

Then start the client:

	/usr/local/ag/bin/MultiMON

Go to the File->configure menu and set the name of the server.
Then do File->start to start up packet capture.

There's info on the other things you can do with it in the webpage above.
