Versions of FreeBSD since 1.1.5 have supported IP multicast as a multicast sender and receiver. Version 1.1.5 contained a slightly dodgy port of the 2.x multicast forwarder and routing process; version 2.0 contains a slightly dodgy and ill-tested port of the 3.3 multicast forwarder and routing process. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
