Hi,

PIM6-SM/DM/SSM routing does not exist on linux.
You have to use a BSD for this task.
http://www.freshports.org/net/pim6sd/
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/pim6sd/

Maybe something will come out of Xorp :

I wish someone will port pim6sd to linux one day...

What is your application ? (I'm curious)

Regards,
Xavier
