Which is inherently dangerous.  That's\r\nwhy many protocols and tools take special consideration for multicast.  For example, the standard ping\r\ntool (iputils package) defaults to a TTL = 1 when the destination address is detected to be multicast.\r\n\r\nThe answer to your question is unfortunately no.  There is no way of establishing bi-directional\r\nmulticast routes in SMCRoute.  You need to add both mroute's to your .conf file."}}
