Hi Pavlin,

Thanks for the reminder, we already discussed that when corresponding 
about XORP 0.5 multicasting a while ago.
I will have a look at the API on my FreeBSD 4.9. Have there been changes 
from FreeBSD 4.9 to 4.10? Any good resources besides the man pages and 
the sources :-)?

It looks like there was a lot of progress on the multicast side from 0.5 
to 1.0 XORP, splendid. I'll play with it and report my testings in a 
Quagga/Cisco testing environment.

Best Regards,
Gernot
