All things related to multicast

[Hans Kuhn <>]

Lucy,

This is not true. MIM handles source addresses just fine IF
the source is SSM. There is a bug where MIM doesn't know how
to handle the corner case where you specify a source address
for an ASM group.

Just for the record, MIM does support SSM and works great
under FreeBSD with Wilbert's IGMPv3 patch. 

To add my .02 to this discussion, I believe that folks
should migrate their SDP files from SAP to the World Wide
Web. This little research project (the World Wide Web) has
great potential and is really starting to mature. I suggest
that you take a look at this, as I really think it's going
to revolutionize the way we access information.

Honestly, if you want some pointers on how to put an SDP
file on a web page and get your web server to serve the
correct mime-type, drop me a line. Operators are standing
by...

I do plan to eat my own dog food. I'm working on migrating
all of the UO sources to the web. At some point the UO will
disappear from your SDR listings and you'll have to learn to
use google to find our multicast programming.
