mrouted is an implementation of the IPv4 multicast routing protocol DVMRP, RFC 1075. It is capable of turning a UNIX workstation, or Linux device, into a multicast router with tunneling support. Tunneling may be required to cross non-multicast-aware routers. The Distantance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP), derived from RIP, is suitable for smaller/dense networks. It employs the “flood and prune” method, where multicast is flooded until neighboring routers opt out from unwanted m...
