Dear All,

I am testing Pimd. I created the network :

H1----R1-------------R2----H2
     
     |                       |
          |                       |
         R4-------------R3---H3

Routers are hosts with Ubuntu operating system, Quagga routing software and Pimd software. H1 and H2 act as the clients and H3 acts as a server. When the server is directly connected to the RP router everything works fine. In the case when the server is not directly connected to the RP router, packets could not be encapsulated, and they does not come to the RP router. Router which is directly connected to the server does not forward packets and it receives the cache miss control message from kernel. 
Do I need to modify kernel in order to enable pim
 encapsulation and how to do that?

Regards and thanks,
