All things related to multicast

[Jay Ford <>]

I've added the following to the list of multicast traffic & MSDP SAs I whack:
   224.77.0.0/16
   226.77.0.0/16
I implemented it as one rule:
   224.77.0.0 2.0.255.255

See "http://service2.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ghost.nsf/docid/1999033015222425";
for their use.

Blocking /16s is admittedly a bit dangerous looking ahead, but it seems OK
for now.  YMMV.  Comments are welcome.

By the way, has anybody yelled at Norton/Symantec about using arbitrarily
chosen multicast address space?  This makes 2 /16s & a /32 of global space
which I'm aware are used by them for a decidedly local application.  Argh!
