[Xorp-users] PIM registering process

[Neeraj Prasad]

Thanks Pavlin. I was unable to see any SSM behaviour in XORP so this
question.

Also, is there some problem with PIM register. I did the usual set up and
configuration but the system wont register encapsulate the data packet. All
parameters were correctly mentioned and why register_vif takes address of
the first physical interface.

Regards,
Neeraj.
