See http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Beacon
The idea is that beacon clients all join a group and inject and
receive traffic. Each client then sends unicast reports to a central
server with information about what it received in the group. The
server then generates a data file. There is a script that converts
the data file to HTML.
See http://beaconserver.accessgrid.org:9999/ for an example of a large
deployment.
