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".
