I see a question about filtering multicast and 6to4 dated yesterday. It was pretty vague, so maybe nobody felt they could help. Try asking a specific question rather than just saying you're not sure you understand it. Have you tried Google/Wikipedia/networking text books for background information? Have you done anything to sort out your lack of understanding. If so, say what you've done and narrow the subject down to specific problems. -- By June 1949, people had begun to realize that it was not so easy to get a program right as had at one time appeared.
