As netlink sockets can be used to add unicast routes to FIB, can you add multicast routes to Multicast Forwarding Cache so that kernel can support Multicast Forwarding? If this is possible, how would you go about giving options to the netlink sockets? Please inform me by CCing your answers/suggestions to me. Thanks, Naveen. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
