Re: PIM-SM help needed

The XORP project (www.xorp.org) has developed a software package that 
manages various routing protocols, including PIM-SM.  I know that it 
works well with real interfaces, because my graduate student used it as 
the basis for his project.  I do not know if it supports virtual 
interfaces.  This package runs under a variety of operating systems.  
(You can look at the web pages to find details.)  From my student's 
comments, XORP appears to contain a good implementation of PIM-SM.

Note that this is an actual implementation, not part of a simulation 
such as the IIRC discussed by Nidhi Bashar.  Also, since the XORP 
project is being actively worked on, the implementation of PIM-SM is 
probably more likely to be up-to-date with the latest spec.
