Many people have requested my config concerning my Linux box running
mrouted so I'll post it to the list directly.

Hardware: P-120 with 32MB Ram, 2 GB HD
OS Kernel: Linux 2.0.30
Network card: Intel EtherExpress 10/100 Pro+ running eepro100.c:v0.36

Built a kernel with the following options for mrouted to work:
- Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
(CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL)
- Network aliasing (CONFIG_NET_ALIAS)
- IP: forwarding/gatewaying (CONFIG_IP_FORWARD)
- IP: multicasting (CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST)
- IP: tunneling (CONFIG_NET_IPIP)
- IP: multicast routing (EXPERIMENTAL) (CONFIG_IP_MROUTE)
- IP: aliasing support (CONFIG_IP_ALIAS)

a very basic mrouted version 3.81 config file in /etc/mrouted.conf:
pruning on
phyint <local ip> metric 1 threshold 1
tunnel <local ip> <remote ip>  metric 1 threshold 16 rate_limit 500

Most of the information is available from:

Comments are welcomed.
