I've finished putting the multicast stuff into the tree. I haven't
tested it yet but will start doing that now. I've tested it as
much as building a kernel with and without multicast turned on and
made sure it runs either way.
I suggest you rebuild anything that would in any way rely on
anything that relates to this. (vague enough for you?) :-)
Specifically telnet, ftp, rlogin, rcp, rrsh, telnetd, ftpd,
netstat, routed, etc.....
You will probably (as has been mentioned before) see the following:
"setsockopt (IP_TOS): Invalid Argument"
on your console from any binary that was built before these channges
but it will likely work anyways...
To enable multicast; put the following in your conf/MACHINE file:
options MULTICAST,MROUTE
and rebuild.
These patches come from cmaeda@cs.washington.edu and are derived
from the Multicast patches for BSDI done by Steve Mccanne.
