The multicast routing table displays connectivity information for each subnet from which a multicast datagram can originate.

The multicast routing cache table is a duplicate copy of the kernel forwarding cache table. It contains the status information for multicast destination group-origin subnet pairs.

mrouted retrieves these tables by sending an appropriate signal to the mrouted daemon. mrouted responds to the following signals:

HUP	Restarts mrouted. The configuration file is reread each
	time this signal is evoked.
INT	Terminates mrouted by sending messages to all
	neighboring routers.
TERM	The same as INT.
USR1	Defined as signal 16, dumps the internal routing tables
	(virtual interface table and multicast routing table) to
	/usr/tmp/mrouted.dump.
USR2	Defined as signal 17, dumps the multicast routing
	cache tables to /usr/tmp/mrouted.cache.
QUIT	Dumps the internal routing tables (virtual interface
	table and multicast routing table) to stderr (only if
	mrouted was invoked with a nonzero debug level).

You can send signals to mrouted by issuing the HP-UX kill command at the HP-UX prompt. For example:

kill -USR1 pid

where pid is the process ID of the mrouted daemon.

For more information on the routing tables, type man 1M mrouted at the HP-UX command prompt, and see the EXAMPLE section.
