CC:ing to net@freebsd.org, where this discussion should probably continue. #define quoting(Amancio Hasty) // Got curious as to what was the latest as to why our default kernels // are not being compile with IP Multicast enabled. Because 99% or more of the FreeBSD user community does not need it ? IMHO, I think that to understand what the MBone is and to setup a well understood tunnel is not easier than compile a new FreeBSD kernel. // Fortunately, in FreeBSD land is very easy to compile a kernel or You get my point... // to build ip_mroute_mod loadable kernel module. I've never heard of a ip_mrouted_mod loadable kernel module. If it's possible to have mrouting capability as a LKM, this could be available by default. Why is it not ? To avoid lamers building tunnels wihtout understanding what they are doing ? :) Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
