1.1     ! misho       1: Second Pre-release December 31, 1998 (Happy New Year)
        !             2: 
        !             3: * Fixed a variety of bugs and updated the implementation to comply
        !             4:   with some sublte points and revisions of the PIM-DM specification.
        !             5: 
        !             6: * Also synch'ed with the latest pimd from Pavlin and added patches
        !             7:   for Linux, which were contributed by Jonathan Day <j.c.day@larc.nasa.gov>.
        !             8:   Thanks Jonathan.
        !             9: 
        !            10: 
        !            11: First Pre-release June 5, 1997
        !            12: 
        !            13: * Pimd-dense requires kernel patches to the current ip_mroute kernel 
        !            14:   in order to operate correctly.  This is due to bugs in the ipmroute
        !            15:   kernel code currently being distributed (at least for FreeBSD).
        !            16:   I've tested pimdd with both Rusty's GateD patches (to be depricated)
        !            17:   and Pavlin's combined patches, which are available at:
        !            18:     ftp://catarina.usc.edu/pub/pim/pimd/experimental/one-pimd-gated-kernel
        !            19:   It should also work with any of the other recent patch kits that Pavlin
        !            20:   has produced for use with Sparse-mode pimd.
        !            21: 
        !            22: * Since pimd cannot reliably get preference and metric info from the kernel
        !            23:   a configuration option is provided to specify a preference with which to
        !            24:   advertise sources when sending PIM-Assert messages.  The phyint command
        !            25:   in pimd.conf allows you to specify a default perference for each
        !            26:   interface.  If no preference is specified, prefs will default to 101, 
        !            27:   which is high enough that default preferences advertised by either
        !            28:   Cisco or Gated routers (both having better information on unicast routes)
        !            29:   will will over pimd preferences.  Directly connected sources will always
        !            30:   be asserted with a preference of 0.
        !            31: 
        !            32: * Because unicast routes are obtained from the kernel, only the prefered
        !            33:   route is available.  Pimd cannot determine the existence of 
        !            34:   equal-cost-multipaths, and thus does not implement the addressing of
        !            35:   joins and prunes to 0.0.0.0.
        !            36: 
        !            37: * RSRR support is currently rough and completely untested.
        !            38: 
        !            39: 
        !            40:
