Hi,

It seems that all multicast IP addresses are associated to the default
route.

> route get 225.332.324.213
   route to: 225.77.68.213
destination: default
       mask: default
 ....

I can't see what part of the routing kernel code does that, or what
initialisation utility/script
configure the routing table to obtain that behavior,

thanks for any help,

Dimiti
