Linux IPv4 Multicast router?

Linux IPv4 Multicast router?

[Daniel Ng]

Hi,

What is currently the most widely-used IPv4 Multicast Router software in Linux?

Is it mrouted?

If so, is there an active newsgroup for it? The last release I could find (3.9-
beta3) was made about 10 years ago. Also, the DVMRP RFC spec was never 
standardised, so I'm not so sure this is the best way to go.

I have used Xorp with good results.  It's actively supported on the xorp 
mailing lists
by the developers.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi,
Consider using xorp:
http://www.xorp.org/

It was OK  for me with IPv6 and I believe that it is may also OK for
IPV4 ;I had tried it with IPv6 Multicast Routing
( Yoshfuji git patches, following Mickael Hoerdt work,
which were integrated some months ago in the net 2.6 tree).

Regards,
Rami Rosen
