This code was originally embedded in Kame stack developed by the Wide consortium. Through the M6Bone projects, some new features have been added and latest pim6sd code with the main set of features is available at http://clarinet.u-strasbg.fr/ hoerdt/pim6sd_linux/

Basic features implemented:

Main features:
  PIM SM/SSM
  BSR (PIM-SM draft) or static RP configuration (depending Kame snapshot)
  RP functionnality
  IPv6 in IPv6 tunneling

Home made add-ons:

  Luc Beurton implemented:

• BSR border
• BSR filtering
• Statically configured RPs
• Default IPv6 multicast route more info at www.pbox.org/ luc/

  Stig Venaas implemented:

• IPv6 - IPv4 multicast dynamic gateway on RP
• embedded RP addresses

Configuration examples:

  Activation IPv6 stack

#in file /etc/rc.conf"
 ipv6_enable="YES"

  Enabling IPv6 routing

#in file /etc/rc.conf
 ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"

  Disabling "Router Advertisement"

#in file /etc/rc.conf
 rtadvd_enable="NO"

  Manual configuration of the IPv6 address on an interface

#in file /etc/rc.local
 ifconfig interface_name inet6 @ipv6 prefixlen 64

  Declaration of a default route

#in file /etc/rc.local
 route add -inet6 default @ipv6_default_router%xl0

  Declaration of route for an address (/128)

#in file /etc/rc.local
 route add -inet6 -host @ipv6_host @ipv6_next_hop%xl0

  Create an IPv6/IPv6 tunnel

#in file /etc/rc.local
 ifconfig gif0 create
 ifconfig gif0 inet6 @ipv6_local_tunnel @ipv6_distant_tunnel prefixlen 128
 gifconfig gif0 inet6 @ipv6_local_physical @IPv6_distant_physical
 ifconfig gif0 up

  Create an IPv6/IPv4 tunnel

#in file /etc/rc.local
 ifconfig gif0 create
 ifconfig gif0 inet6 @ipv6_local_tunnel @ipv6_distant_tunnel prefixlen 128
 gifconfig gif0 inet @ipv4_local_physical @ipv4_distant_physical
 ifconfig gif0 up

  Run PIM Sparse-Mode (pim6sd)

#in file /etc/rc.local
 pim6sd -c /etc/pim6sd.conf

  Configuration of PIM SM

#all information clearly available with
#man pim6sd.conf
