>Description:
Attached diff is for en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking/chapter.sgml.  It updates section 29.2.8 to reflect change in FreeBSD 7 where mrouted(8) was removed from the base system, but is still available in the ports collection.  This addresses part of docs/124666.

>         <para>As of &os; 7 the &man.mrouted.8; multicast routing daemon 
>           has been removed from the base system. It implements the 
>           <acronym>DVMRP</acronym> multicast routing protocol, which has 
>           largely been replaced by &man.pim.4; in many multicast 
>           installations. The related &man.map-mbone.8; and 
>           &man.mrinfo.8; utilities have also been removed. These programs 
>           are now available in the &os; Ports Collection as 
>           <filename role="package">net/mrouted</filename>.</para>
