Good; priority should be given to a "real" mc routing daemon, ie what the user expects to get when she installs multicast-routing-daemon. >> The pimd/xorp situation should be investigated, as I'm not sure both can >> be installed at the same time either. > > They cannot because multicast routing always needs access to the multicast > routing table (MRT), which the kernel lets you only access through a socket > after calling setsockopt() with MRT_INIT (see above). Yes, but it isn't as clear cut as it looks given xorp can do mc routing or not depending on configuration (AIUI from the description). If that is the case, you may want to use xorp for some tasks and pimd for mc routing.
