Pavlin,

Thanks for your response. I was concerned on this functionality because I am
planning for our remote site's XORP multicast router to act as an IGMPv3
proxy without PIM-SSM running. Thank you for CC'ing me in the Bugzilla
mailing list to keep me notified and there's no hurry on this functionality.
For now, I can still use PIM-SSM fucntionality for our remote's site
multicast router.

Sincerely Yours,

Archimedes S. Gaviola

Yes, RFC 4605 is what we have in mind.
Unfortunately we cannot give any estimate when it will be implemented due to
our (very) limited resources.

FYI, I just replaced the TODO entry with a Bugzilla entry:
http://www.xorp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=700

You can add yourself to the CC list for that entry so you will get automated
email notifications whenever there is any change in the status.

Regards,
Pavlin
