As a firs step, you can look at two tools:  the Internet2 Detective  ( 
http://detective.internet2.edu  ) will tell you whether your network has 
multicast enabled;  the multicast beacon ( 
http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Beacon ) will tell you the quality of 
your connectivity to other sites running beacon clients.
