All things related to multicast

[Dan Oachs <>]

We are currently using xorp ( http://xorp.org/ ) to do multicast routing 
on our campus and pimd to connect it to internet2.  They both seem to be 
working well.  We did have some stability issues with xorp on new 
hardware, but it has been running great for about a month now on older 
hardware (P4 1.8Ghz).  xorp is handling multicast routing between 12 
subnets and delivering about 10 iptv channels at 4Mbit/s each and video 
streams from internet2 without any trouble (
