        !            22: The code from Pimd-dense is heavily based on the PIM-Sparse Mode daemon
        !            23: implementation by Puneet Sharma and Charley Liu (USC), Ahmed Helmy (SGI/USC),
        !            24: and Pavlin Ivanov Radoslavov (USC).  For more info on PimD-Sparse, see the

        !            26: 
        !            27: Use of PimD-Dense for multicast routing requires a separate facility for
        !            28: unicast routing such as (1) static routes via the UNIX <I>route</I> command,
        !            29: (2) RIP routes via the standard UNIX <I>routed</I> routing daemon, or
        !            30: (3) other dynamic unicast routing protocols such as those provided by the
        !            31: <A HREF="http://www.gated.org/">GateD</A> multiprotocol routing daemon.<P>

        !            42: PimD-Dense should compile and run on most UNIX varieties, including

        !            46: Many current version of the IP MRouting kernel code requires patches
        !            47: to correct certain bugs in order to work correctly with PimD-Dense.
