The purpose of the test is to see what happens when a network interface is no longer able to filter multicasts in hardware and has to switch to promiscuous or multicast promiscuous mode. A successful test does not have any result, but an unsuccessful test will have deleterious side effects. Packet size in bytes. The options are as follows: l -tag -width ".Fl i Ar interface" t Fl i Ar interface Network interface, which can be found with .Xr ifconfig 8 . t Fl g Ar group Multicast group. t Fl n Ar number Number of groups to join. .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following is an example of a typical usage of the .Nm command:
