Is Quagga actually a multicast router?? I don't see any support for DVMRP,
and it has a comment in the docs:

"Currently, Quagga supports common unicast routing protocols. Multicast
routing protocols such as BGMP, PIM-SM, PIM-DM may be supported in Quagga
2.0. "

I need a replacement for the multicast router 'mrouted' ...
