Last updated: 8 April 1994
This README is for IRIX 5.1 and 5.2 users.
This directory contains updates for multicast routing on IRIX 5.1 and 5.2.
The mrouted binary is version 2.2 from Van Jacobson et al, which has
his 8 April 1994 routing update fixes. These changes are important
if you're connected to the MBONE. Even better, upgrade to IRIX 5.3
and get the latest mrouted 3.8 from ../5.3.
See ../../README.tools for information on the various MBONE conferencing tools.
*** WARNINGS ***
a) This is an unofficial, unsupported release.
b) The binaries should work on IRIX 5.1 but there's no guarantees since
they were compiled on 5.2.
If you have any problems with these fixes, please let me know via email.

1) mrouted(1M) changes for IRIX 5.2:
*** These changes have received minimal testing. Be sure to save a backup
*** mrouted.
Here are binaries and sources for Van Jacobson and Pavel Curtis's version
of mrouted(1M) with their extensions to obtain mrouted's neighbor list
and Van's changes to make router updates more robust.
Some of the source files contain the small changes needed to run on IRIX.
The original sources were obtained via anonymous ftp from
ftp.ee.lbl.gov:/mrouted-2.2/mrouted.tar.Z on 8 April 1994.
Binaries:
uncompress mrouted.Z
Sources: (optional)
zcat mrouted-src.tar.Z | tar xf -
cd mrouted
make
To install, as root:
mv /usr/etc/mrouted /usr/etc/SAVE.mrouted
mv mrouted /usr/etc
killall mrouted
mrouted
2) Useful tools for IRIX 5.2:
Van's mrinfo program is used to query a mrouted for its neighbor list.
Pavel's map-mbone is used to query all reachable mrouteds for their lists.
Binaries:
uncompress map-mbone.Z mrinfo.Z
Sources: (optional)
zcat mrouted-src.tar.Z | tar xf -
cd mrouted
make
To install, as root:
mv mrinfo map-mbone /usr/etc
