I need to frequently access entries in the multicast routing table. This does not seem to be efficient. I want to know if there are any system calls or socket options available that I can use. Of cause, I can always hack the kernel. But I do not want to re-invent the wheel if people have already provided nice ways to access the multicast routing table. So my question is: are there any available system calls or socket options for this purpose? L.
