References: ]From: brad@FCR.COM (Operator) ]Message-ID: <BRAD.93Feb16145425@stemwinder.FCR.COM> ] If you look on ftp.cayman.com in pub/users/386bsd, you'll find a tar file which has a working multicast (and we driver) for 386bsd 0.1. Steve MacCanne and I have talked about merging this with a version for 4.4 that he did - this will probably happen, but for now what I did works fine. His version has better kernel memory allocation (I believe the original Steve Deering code just grabs mbufs) I've tested it with the sunos-4.1.x release and it does all the right things. -brad -- Politically correct term for `corrupt': Ethically different, morally challenged Brad Parker FCR Software, Inc., Boston, Ma. brad@fcr.com
