Yes, tiny baby steps has been taking in order to startup a OpenPIMD project, but don't hold your breath... Step one would probably be a PIM-DM, later on it can be expanded to support PIM-SM.

If you want to play, mrouted is good enough - I mainly use it for multicast video streaming, and IPerf multicast test streams. /Esben
