No functional changes, but:
+ the mrouting module now should behave the same as the compiled-in
version (it did not before, some of the rsvp code was not loaded
properly);
+ netinet/ip_mroute.c is now truly optional;
+ removed some redundant/unused code;
+ changed many instances of '0' to NULL and INADDR_ANY as appropriate;
+ removed several static variables to make the code more SMP-friendly;
+ fixed some minor bugs in the mrouting code (mostly, incorrect return
values from functions).
This commit is also a prerequisite to the addition of support for PIM,
which i would like to put in before DP2 (it does not change any of
the existing APIs, anyways).
Note, in the process we found out that some device drivers fail to
properly handle changes in IFF_ALLMULTI, leading to interesting
behaviour when a multicast router is started. This bug is not
corrected by this commit, and will be fixed with a separate commit.
Detailed changes:
--------------------
netinet/ip_mroute.c all the above.
conf/files make ip_mroute.c optional
net/route.c fix mrt_ioctl hook
netinet/ip_input.c fix ip_mforward hook, move rsvp_input() here
together with other rsvp code, and a couple
of indentation fixes.
netinet/ip_output.c fix ip_mforward and ip_mcast_src hooks
netinet/ip_var.h rsvp function hooks
netinet/raw_ip.c hooks for mrouting and rsvp functions, plus
interface cleanup.
netinet/ip_mroute.h remove an unused and optional field from a struct
Most of the code is from Pavlin Radoslavov and the XORP project

of the cruft surrounding IPFW, multicast routing, RSVP, and other
ill-explored corners.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Garrett,
Here are some patches for the rate limiting code. It should be faster,
and in particular it doesn't leak malloc'd memory any more when rate_limit'ing
a phyint.
It now uses an mbuf chain at each vif, instead of the static queue array.
This means that the MAXQSIZE is now variable per vif (although there is no
interface to change it other than a debugger); this is an area for more
experimentation.

to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):
- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.
What still needs to be done:
- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.
Some notes about the porting process:
In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.
I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
