Re: [qpimd-users] Unable to route multicast video streams using qpimd.

[Everton Marques]

Hi Yoda,

I suspect the same kind of byte ordering bug may be affecting the IGMP
code as well. I only verified the PIM code.
I will look at the IGMP byte ordering code as soon as I can, in a few days.
Thanks a lot for confirming the PIM byte ordering seems good now.

Cheers,
Everton
