As part of my masters research, I'm going to be working on multicast routing and doing some neato things with regulating traffic on the MBONE. FreeBSD (besides being my OS of choice) is the ideal candidate for the research because I've got sources and it runs the very latest stuff reliably. I'm doing CTM now, and I'm running -current. No problem. I noticed that the ip_mrouter stuff seems to be a loadable kernel module. I can't get it to compile, however: /sys/netinet/ip_mroute.c:2233: `ip_mrouter_cmd' undeclared (first use this function) Any ideas? Perhaps this is in the process of becoming an lkm? I noticed that recently /sys/netinet/ip_mroute.c was modified and checked in, suggesting that someone on the core team might be working in this file right now. It looks like that's where I'll be working, and I'd like to avoid stepping on toes. Perhaps the person(s) working in this area would be good enough to contact me so we don't clash?
