[alcatel-nsp] Pinging a multicast address

[ryanL]

now that i've re-read your email and remembered back to my pure cisco
days, i know what you are digging at. i don't think it's available. i
scanned thru the 6.1 docs and the 8.0 docs... no mention of it.

best that i can find (which doesn't help you) is their mtrace, mrinfo,
and mstat features.
