Hannum" <mycroft@ai.mit.edu> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.announce Subject: Multicast 3.5 integrated Followup-To: poster Date: 3 Jun 1995 16:17:28 -0700 Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 17 Sender: cgd@agate.berkeley.edu Approved: netbsd-announce-request@agate.berkeley.edu Message-ID: <199506030430.AAA01661@duality.gnu.ai.mit.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: agate.berkeley.edu A few days ago, I integrated the Multicast 3.5 distribution from PARC into NetBSD-current. Among other things, Multicast 3.5 includes pruning DVMRP, which allows you to drastically reduce the amount of MBONE traffic you get. Jason Thorpe and I have also done some work to clean up some of this code, and in particular I've fixed several bugs in the kernel-side implementation and reduced its size significantly. The lot appears to be fairly stable now. This code is likely to undergo some more changes in the near future, but this shouldn't adversely affect its stability. If you have any problems with it, let us know.
