This especially also means that we would like to see it being used even if just pure non-SSM applications are being used (to verify correct IGMPv2 backward compatiblity of the host stack). The current version has shown to work quite well at a couple of early tester places (thanks everybody!). We are still finalizing a few discovered issues, but we expect it to work reliable for most places already. Please find pointers to patches at: ftp://ftpeng.cisco.com/ipmulticast/ssm/index.html#STACKS Please use ssm-support@cisco.com to respond to us or subscribe to cisco-ssm@external.cisco.com if you like to discuss this stack with other users and be kept up to date with updates. Thanks Toerless Eckert, Vince Laviano P.S.: If you want to snoop IGMPv3 packets on the wire, make sure you get the latest tcpdump version from www.tcpdump.org, which understands IGMPv3 packets.

I'll put in a plug here for MIMd and MIM. MIMd will source SSM MPEG data, and MIM will receive SSM/IGMPv3 MPEG sources.
