Running a Multicast Test (Multicast)
The multicast option is used to test transmission conditions within local
radio cells. Packets are sent between the source and destination nodes
without any acknowledgments or retries (as multicasts). This test pro-
vides a good indication of the raw state of the path to the node since no
attempt is made to recover from any radio errors.
