Multicast Routing Setup

Now you're into the really deep black arts here. This is not a place for the faint of heart!

I have no experience with bringing up multicast routing on a router other than by running mrouted so I will leave that advise to those wiser than I at the MBone information Web.
It is a bad idea to send very large multicast messages on the network. Some routers will not correctly forward a message that has been packetized by the network.
