text: # Multicast Routing Daemon v6
  
  The Multicast Routing Daemon v6 (MRD6) is an IPv6 multicast routing daemon developed by Hugo Santos. Its main features include:
  
  * Extensible modular design
  * MLDv1 and MLDv2 support
  * PIM-SM support (ASM and SSM)
  * Partial MBGP support
  * Supports both native and virtual (tunnel) interfaces (tested IPv6-IPv4, IPv6-IPv6 and TUN/TAP tunnels)
  * Abstract Multicast Forwarding Interface (MFA) with user-space forwarding
  * CLI support (remote configuration and management) via telnet or local access
  
  The project is unsupported since 2013. The author states as a reason that native multicast forwarding support is available in Linux since 2005 and pim6sd could be used to manage it.
