Hi,

Zebra lib defines an opaque member "info" under "struct interface",
where modules are expected to store protocol-specific
per-interface information. Thus qpimd stores its per-interface
information under "struct pim_interface". The member "info" of
"struct interface" is a pointer to "struct pim_interface".

"struct pim_ifchannel" stores the per-interface (S,G,I) state.

Cheers,
Everton
