It's IPv4 PIM-SM.

There are unintegrated PIM patches available, I'm running them.
Moreover, xorp is running with igmp disabled and dr-priority = 0. Thus
it never have to send encapsulated mulicast packets, the upstream and
dowtream routers always handle that.

Is it possible that this configuration could work without the kernel PIM
patches? It only have to exchange PIM packets with neightbors and
install multicast routes.
