Garrett,
Here are some patches for the rate limiting code. It should be faster,
and in particular it doesn't leak malloc'd memory any more when rate_limit'ing
a phyint.
It now uses an mbuf chain at each vif, instead of the static queue array.
This means that the MAXQSIZE is now variable per vif (although there is no
interface to change it other than a debugger); this is an area for more
experimentation.

case, multicast options are not passed to ip_mforward().) The previous
version had a wrong test, thus causing RSVP mrouters to forward RSVP messages
in violation of the spec.
submitting them as context diffs for the following files:
sys/netinet/ip_mroute.c
sys/netinet/ip_var.h
sys/netinet/raw_ip.c
usr.sbin/mrouted/igmp.c
usr.sbin/mrouted/prune.c
The routine rip_ip_input in raw_ip.c is suggested by Mark Tinguely
(tinguely@plains.nodak.edu). I have been running mrouted with these patches
for over a week and nothing has seemed seriously wrong. It is being run in
two places on our network as a tunnel on one and a subnet querier on the
other. The only problem I have run into is that mrouted on the tunnel must
start up last or the pruning isn't done correctly and multicast packets
flood your subnets.

to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):
- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.
What still needs to be done:
- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.
Some notes about the porting process:
In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.
I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
