        !            10: * Since pimd cannot reliably get preference and metric info from the kernel
        !            11:   a configuration option is provided to specify a preference with which to
        !            12:   advertise sources when sending PIM-Assert messages.  The phyint command
        !            13:   in pimd.conf allows you to specify a default perference for each
        !            14:   interface.  If no preference is specified, prefs will default to 101, 
        !            15:   which is high enough that default preferences advertised by either
        !            16:   Cisco or Gated routers (both having better information on unicast routes)
        !            17:   will will over pimd preferences.  Directly connected sources will always
        !            18:   be asserted with a preference of 0.
        !            19: 
        !            20: * Because unicast routes are obtained from the kernel, only the prefered
        !            21:   route is available.
        !            22: 
        !            23: * RSRR support is currently rough and completely untested.
