    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    6: only as a historical reference and TODO.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.
