Hello,
I'm new to XORP.
At the moment I'm trying to extend PIM. For it I need to understand how the
switch between the different phases in PIM (RP Tree -> Register Stop ->
Shortest Path Tree) is done.
I saw that all packets are forwarded to the PIM process if the flag
VIFF_REGISTER is set.
But I can't find the code where the flag is reset, so that multicast packets
are no longer forwarded from the kernel to the PIM process.
Maybe someone can give me a hint.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ralf
