In the process of implementing Automatic Multicast Without Explicit Tunnels (URL below), I've discovered that the multicast routing code really cant be used for multicast routing algorithms based on bidirectional shared trees (PIM-B, BGMP, CBT, IGMP Proxy, etc). So, before I start rewriting ip_mroute.c or implementing some crazy netgraph nodes that only work for this particular problem: Does anyone have any thoughts on the future direction of FreeBSD's (or *BSDs) packet forwarding architecture? Is the Linux routing architecture worth trying to emulate (or simulate)? Can (should) netgraph nodes be used for IP forwarding? How? brad The AMT draft can (for the next 5 months or so) be found at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-auto-multicast-01.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
