I have some pending work on that, maybe I should send an RFC to get some review. > I don't know much about IGMP, so when you start talking about rendezvous > points I'm lost.

There is no support for PIM-SM or RP, which as I understand, would require OVS to act as a router as well. Not sure how feasible it would be to implement that in a controller.
