                      4: See the file ChangeLog for changes over the years.  The below is the
                      5: Release Notes for Pavlin's last pimd release back in 2000, it is kept
                      6: only as a historical reference and TODO.

                      9: 
                     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.
