Hello, First, I am a newbie to USAGI. You are doing a great job ! Second, I have a question regarding USAGI IPV6 Source Specific Multicasting: as I probed into the code of USAGI, (both kernel and mcast-tools), my first impression is that in the kernel there **is** support for Source Specific Multicasting (SSM) whereas in mcast-tools (I talk about the usagi git tree) there is **no** support yet for Source Specific Multicasting (SSM). For example, I see MCAST_JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP/MCAST_LEAVE_SOURCE_GROUP are handled in do_ipv6_setsockopt() (net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c) Yet I did not found support for SSM in mcast-tools. As I said, I am a newbie on these matters, so I just want to verify: Am I right on this ? Regards, Mark Ryden
