UNFINISHED WORK ON THE LLNL MCAST DISTRIBUTION
o Implement a real naming scheme: registration and lookup. Currently
mcast_getgroupbyname just zeros out a multicast address and then
strncpy copies the group name into the address. Pretty hokey, but
it let us get started.
o Implement the readv and writev limcast routines. This will require
rewriting the _mc_read and _mc_write low level routines to accept
a uio structure. Obviously all the mc_read, mc_write, mc_recv,
mc_send, etc. routines will also have to be modified to follow
suit.
o Implement a way to get the current multicast group membership and
also a way to get asynchronous notification of group membership
changes.
o Write general documentation covering multicast abstraction and
interface.
o Write up implementation notes for the internal structure of the
multicast server. Diagrams describing the varied data structures
would be especially nice ...
o Well, obviously a true multicast implementation would be nice too ...
