Have you given any thought to the overhead (just in traffic - let's leave 
memory out of the question right now) required to do what you call "actual 
multicast routing" in the firmware? We all understand how difficult is 
what we are trying to achieve. The firmware hasn't changed much since you 
started working on this project. So, let's drop the finger pointing and 
try to come up with realistic and implementable solutions.

Yianni does testing, he doesn't care where specifically the problem is, 
all that he wants is to see something that works.
