   15: <B><I>Pimd-dense</I></B> is a lightweight, stand-alone PIM-Dense Mode
   16: implementation that may be freely deployed or distributed.  Pimd-Dense
   17: implements the full 
   18: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pim-v2-dm-01.txt">PIM-DM specification</A> with a few exceptions
   19: noted in the <A HREF="RELEASE.NOTES">Release Notes</A>.
   20: <P>
   21: 
   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
   25: <A HREF="http://netweb.usc.edu/pim/">PIM Home Page at USC</A><P>
   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>

   34: <H2>The Software</H2>
   35: 
   36: PimD-Dense is currently <I>ALPHA</I>-version software that yet requires
   37: extensive testing.  If you choose to use it, information about any
   38: bugs or problems sent to 
   39: <A HREF="kurtw@antc.uoregon.edu">kurtw@antc.uoregon.edu</A> would be
   40: greatly appreciated and will be investigated ASAP.<P>
   41: 
   42: PimD-Dense should compile and run on most UNIX varieties, including
   43: FreeBSD, BSDI, NetBSD, SunOS, IRIX, Solaris 2.5, Solaris 2.6, and Linux
   44: (however it has not yet been tested on all these).<P>
   45: 
   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.
   48: Before using PimD-Dense, you should apply one of the current
   49: patches available for PimD-Sparse from USC's

   66: In the future, a suite of test scripts will be included that will test
