+ $Id: README,v 1.1.1.1 1999/08/08 23:30:57 itojun Exp $
+ $FreeBSD$
+
+WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
+THIS RELEASE IS VERY ALPHA, SO PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE AND
+DO NOT TRY IT OUTSIDE OF YOUR TESTBED.
+
+This is README for pimd, the PIM multicast daemon.
+PIM-SM version: 2
+Check ftp://catarina.usc.edu/pub/pim/pimd/ for lastest version.
+
+SUPPORTED PLATFORMS: FreeBSD-2.2.*, SunOS-4.1.3, Solaris-2.5.1 and 2.6,
+SGI, BSDI 3.0/3.1, NetBSD-1.3
+
+AVAILABLE PIM kernel patches: FreeBSD-2.2.1, FreeBSD-2.2.2, FreeBSD-2.2,5,
+ SunOS-4.1.3, SGI, BSDI-3.0, BSDI-3.1, NetBSD-1.3
+
+Linux: pimd compiles under Linux, and linux-2.1.103 seems to have PIM-SMv2
+kernel support, but I haven't tested whether the kernel patches really work.
+
+FAST START (read "fast explanation" :))
+
+1. Apply the PIM kernel patches, recompile, reboot
+
+2. Copy pimd.conf to /etc and edit as appropriate. Disable the interfaces
+you don't need. Note that you need at least 2 physical interfaces enabled.
+
+3. Edit Makefile by uncommenting the line(s) corresponding to your platform.
+
+4. Recompile pimd
+
+5. Run pimd as a root. It is highly recommended to run it in debug mode.
+Because there are many debug messages, you can specify only a subset of
+the messages to be printed out:
+
+usage: pimd [-c configfile] [-d [debug_level][,debug_level]]
+
+Valid debug levels: dvmrp_prunes,dvmrp_mrt,dvmrp_neighbors,dvmrp_timers,igmp_proto,igmp_timers,igmp_members,trace,timeout,pkt,interfaces,kernel,cache,rsrr,pim_hello,pim_register,pim_join_prune,pim_bootstrap,pim_asserts,pim_cand_rp,pim_routes,pim_timers,pim_rpf
+
+If you want to see all messages, use "pimd -d" only.
+
+6. Note that it takes of the order of 30 seconds to 1 minute until the
+Bootstrap router is elected and the RP-set distributed to the PIM routers,
+and without the RP-set in the routers the multicast packets cannot be
+forwarded.
+
+7. There are plenty of bugs, some of them known (check BUGS.TODO),
+some of them unknown, so your bug reports are more than welcome.
