[Voyage-linux] Multicast forwarding between router interfaces (ath0 & eth0)

[Nicholas J Humfrey]

Hi,

I have found that there is a bit of a lack of up to date Linux routing  
daemons. The only up to date one that I have found is XORP: http://www.xorp.org/

Which gives you a lot more than just a multicast router...

However there is a good IPv6 multicast router available:
