This directory contains updates for multicast routing on IRIX 5.1 and 5.2. The mrouted binary is version 2.2 from Van Jacobson et al, which has his 8 April 1994 routing update fixes. These changes are important if you're connected to the MBONE. Even better, upgrade to IRIX 5.3 and get the latest mrouted 3.8 from ../5.3. See ../../README.tools for information on the various MBONE conferencing tools. *** WARNINGS *** a) This is an unofficial, unsupported release. b) The binaries should work on IRIX 5.1 but there's no guarantees since they were compiled on 5.2. If you have any problems with these fixes, please let me know via email. - Andrew Cherenson (arc@sgi.com) 1) mrouted(1M) changes for IRIX 5.2: *** These changes have received minimal testing. Be sure to save a backup *** mrouted. Here are binaries and sources for Van Jacobson and Pavel Curtis's version of mrouted(1M) with their extensions to obtain mrouted's neighbor list and Van's changes to make router updates more robust. Some of the source files contain the small changes needed to run on IRIX. The original sources were obtained via anonymous ftp from ftp.ee.lbl.gov:/mrouted-2.2/mrouted.tar.Z on 8 April 1994. Binaries: uncompress mrouted.Z Sources: (optional) zcat mrouted-src.tar.Z | tar xf - cd mrouted make To install, as root: mv /usr/etc/mrouted /usr/etc/SAVE.mrouted mv mrouted /usr/etc killall mrouted mrouted 2) Useful tools for IRIX 5.2: Van's mrinfo program is used to query a mrouted for its neighbor list. Pavel's map-mbone is used to query all reachable mrouteds for their lists. Binaries: uncompress map-mbone.Z mrinfo.Z Sources: (optional) zcat mrouted-src.tar.Z | tar xf - cd mrouted make To install, as root: mv mrinfo map-mbone /usr/etc
