Multicast Routing in IPV4

[David Shwatrz]

Hello,

I want to use IPV4 multicast routing with Linux ; I want to use Linux
as the machine which
runs the PIM daemon ; ccording to
net/ipv4/ipmr.c it should work with mrouted; but
mrouted is old and no longer supported.

I had looked for other alternatives;
PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) based solutions seems to be the most
appropriate; and the linux kernel supports PIMSM V1 and
PIMSM V2 for a long time.

However, PIM based solutions that I found, like netweb.usc.edu/pim are not
available. I am not sure about other PIM solutions I encountered.

Could anybody recommend some PIM based daemon which is known to work
with IPv4 multicast routing in Linux ? A solution which will accomplish
the basic functionalities of IPV4 multicast routing with 2.6 kernel will do.


Regards,
DS

XORP works fine as a PIM-SM router here. XORP may not be the best
routing protocol suite for BGP, OSPF, and the like, but based on my
experience, multicast routing has been OK.
