Gert,
See http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Beacon/
You can set up a beacon server (Perl or Java) and then have clients
(Java) scattered around the network. The clients test multicast
connectivity between each other and the server presents this data
to you in a nice table, so it is easy to see where problems might
exist.
