multicast/mrouted question



My company develops a satellite-network product, and part of our
distribution is an old multicast router called mrouted. However, I note
that mrouted hasn't been updated since 1999. We hadn't had any requests
for multicast in years, and I've mostly forgotten about it. Now, however,
we have a customer who wants multicast support. I'm wondering, though, if
there isn't something more common and actually supported than that old
package??

We're currently working with kernel 2.2, but will be upgrading our drivers
and other software to kernel 2.6 soon.

- for kernel 2.2, is there anything newer and hopefully better supported
than mrouted??

- for kernel 2.6, is there anything newer and hopefully better supported
than mrouted??

Thank you for any help you can provide to me...
