I know MSF API has been published as an RFC, but I have to wait until the IPR issue raised by Apple has been closed, because Apple requires some fee for SSM-related implementations, which is against BSD-license. http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/APPLE-SSM.txt I'm not sure if this IPR is really valid or this IPR is applicable to IGMPv3/MLDv2, but I think it's dangerous to MFC IGMPv3/MLDv2 without any clarification. As far as I know some Apple engineers have been aware of the issue, but I don't know if Apple's legal staffs know it. I really hope that this issue has been peacefully solved... _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
