Is the new module used at all yet? Its not a rush its a move for enabling user space code that can offload IP Multicast. We have a library doing that which is coded over the gen1 stack and is now in porting for the gen2 stack. > Let's see it get some use before switching a basic component over. This porting relies on Sean's work to allow for joining/leaving "IP Multicast" mcast groups from user space. And anyway, when you expose something to user space, you might not "see" the usage as it can be not an open source one.
