All things related to multicast

[Matthew Davy <>]

Yep, I was just going through the logs from my MSDP listener and
saw that between 12:00 and 12:05 141.142.12.1 sent almost 50k
SA's.   It sent >70k SA's during between 01:17 and 01:25.

In both cases the MSDP session to my Solaris box dropped so
I'm not sure how long the storms of SA's continued.

Hmmm, maybe MSDP SA's should be rate-limited  ;-)
