Abstract
This document describes extensions to IP multicast traceroute facility, named Mtrace2 version 2 (Mtrace2), to include traced path for Layer 2 multicast. Mtrace2 allows tracing the path from Last-Hop Router (LHR) to a source. Tracing the Layer 2 path from LHR till the actual receivers requires special implementations on the part of switches in the Layer 2 path. This specification describes the required functionality in multicast routers and switches. This feature functions along with the Layer 2 multicast protocols like IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping and MLD(Multicast Listener Discovery) Snooping.
