Hi,

We are developing IPv6 multicast routing protocol --PIM-SM. To support IPv6 multicast packet forwarding, Linux kernel need to be modified.  I am coding the file 'ip6_mroute.c' which is  derived from 'ipmr.c' in ipv4.
 
My question is how to modify the IPv6 code in the kernl to make 'ip6_mroute.c' works, i.e how to modify the files such as 'ip6/ip6_ouput.c', 'ip6/route.c' , etc.

I try to refrence to IPv4 code but it seems that the routing mechanism of IPv6 is something different from IPv4. So I get confused.

Could you give me some suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Zheng
