I am proud to announce the first code drop of SSM support for FreeBSD 7.0.

 From the README file:

Source-Specific Multicast for FreeBSD 7.0 -- Phase I

This change brings FreeBSD closer to the standard of multicast API
support offered by Linux 2.6 and Microsoft Windows "Longhorn". It is
mostly of interest to organizations and individuals working with
Internet multimedia applications, and IPv4/IPv6 routing, such as ISPs.
It represents several weeks of work.

The code is written to accomodate IPv6 and MLDv2 with only a little
additional work. A regression test is included under
src/tools/regression/netinet/ipmulticast in the code drop.

The code is available in the bms_netdev branch on perforce.freebsd.org,
or as a patch against -CURRENT extracted from this branch (with additional
files, relative to src) available at:
    http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/ssm_phase1.tar

The work is based on Wilbert de Graaf's IGMPv3 code drop for FreeBSD 4.6,
which is available at: http://www.kloosterhof.com/wilbert/igmpv3.html
