Hello Friends,

I was going through the code of pimd module of quagga. I
could not understand pim_interface and pim_ifchannle structures purpose
from the abstract sense? If anyone has any idea about it, then can you
please tell me?

Thanks for your valuable help in advance.

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
