T1 DONE Implement debug command
   test pim receive join

T2 DONE Implement debug command
   test pim receive prune

T3 DONE Per-interface Downstream (S,G) state machine
   (RFC 4601 4.5.3. Receiving (S,G) Join/Prune Messages)

T4 DONE Upstream (S,G) state machine
   (RFC 4601 4.5.7. Sending (S,G) Join/Prune Messages)

T5 DONE Verify Data Packet Forwarding Rules
   RFC 4601 4.2.  Data Packet Forwarding Rules
   RFC 4601 4.8.2.  PIM-SSM-Only Routers

   Additionally, the Packet forwarding rules of Section 4.2 can be
   simplified in a PIM-SSM-only router:

     iif is the incoming interface of the packet.
     oiflist = NULL
     if (iif == RPF_interface(S) AND UpstreamJPState(S,G) == Joined) {
       oiflist = inherited_olist(S,G)
     } else if (iif is in inherited_olist(S,G)) {
       send Assert(S,G) on iif
     }
     oiflist = oiflist (-) iif
     forward packet on all interfaces in oiflist

   Macro:
     inherited_olist(S,G) =
       joins(S,G) (+) pim_include(S,G) (-) lost_assert(S,G)

T6 DONE Implement (S,G) Assert state machine (RFC 4601, section 4.6.1).

    Transitions from Joined State
     RPF'(S,G) changes due to an Assert

   http://www.hep.ucl.ac.uk/~ytl/multi-cast/pim-dm_01.html:

     The PIM Assert mechanism is used to shutoff duplicate flows onto
     the same multiaccess network. Routers detect this condiction when
     they receive an (S,G) packet via a multi-access interface that is
     in the (S,G) OIL. This causes the routers to send Assert
     Messages.

   Note that neighbors will not accept Join/Prune or Assert messages
   from a router unless they have first heard a Hello message from that
   router.  Thus, if a router needs to send a Join/Prune or Assert
   message on an interface on which it has not yet sent a Hello message
   with the currently configured IP address, then it MUST immediately
   send the relevant Hello message without waiting for the Hello Timer
   to expire, followed by the Join/Prune or Assert message.

T7 DONE Implement hello option: LAN Prune Delay

T8 DONE Implement J/P_Override_Interval(I)
   Depends on TODO T7.
   See pim_ifchannel.c, pim_ifchannel_prune(), jp_override_interval.

T9 DONE Detect change in IGMPv3 RPF interface/next-hop for S and update.
   channel_oil vif index accordingly ?
   Beware accidentaly adding looped MFC entries (IIF=OIF).

T10 DONE React to (S,G) join directed to another upstream address. See
    also:
    
    RFC 4601: 4.5.7.  Sending (S,G) Join/Prune Messages

    If a router wishes to propagate a Join(S,G) upstream, it must also
    watch for messages on its upstream interface from other routers on
    that subnet, and these may modify its behavior.  If it sees a
    Join(S,G) to the correct upstream neighbor, it should suppress its
    own Join(S,G).  If it sees a Prune(S,G), Prune(S,G,rpt), or
    Prune(*,G) to the correct upstream neighbor towards S, it should
    be prepared to override that prune by scheduling a Join(S,G) to be
    sent almost immediately.

T11 DONE Review protocol modifications for SSM
    (RFC 4601 4.8.1.  Protocol Modifications for SSM Destination
    Addresses)

T12 DONE Review updates of RPF entries.
    FIXME pim_upstream.c send_join():
    Currently only one upstream state is affected by detection of RPF change.
    RPF change should affect all upstream states sharing the RPF cache.

T13 DONE Check that RFC macros using S,G,RPF_interface(S) are actually
    implemented with this strategy:
    rpf_ifch=find_ifch(up->rpf->interface).
    See pim_rpf.c pim_rpf_find_rpf_addr() for a correct example.

T25 DONE Zclient nexthop lookup missing OSPF route to 1.1.1.1/32
    See also:
    pim_zlookup.c zclient_lookup_nexthop misses OSPF 1.1.1.1/32
    zebra/zebra_vty.c show_ip_route_addr_cmd hits OSPF 1.1.1.1/32

T26 DONE Zebra daemon is marking recursive static route as inactive.

    FIXED: zebra daemon was incorrectly marking recursive routes
    pointing to kernel routes as inactive:
      zebra/zebra_rib.c nexthop_active_ipv4:
        -- Original:
	  else if (CHECK_FLAG (rib->flags, ZEBRA_FLAG_INTERNAL))
        -- Fixed:
	  else if (CHECK_FLAG (rib->flags, ZEBRA_FLAG_INTERNAL) ||
		   match->type == ZEBRA_ROUTE_KERNEL)

    Old problem description:

    This prevents rib_match_ipv4 from returning its nexthop:
    client: pim_zlookup.c zclient_read_nexthop
    server: zebra/zserv.c zsend_ipv4_nexthop_lookup_v2 -> rib_match_ipv4

    Kernel route is injected into zebra in zebra_rib.c rib_add_ipv4
    Examples:
    rt_netlink.c:726: rib_add_ipv4 (ZEBRA_ROUTE_KERNEL, flags, &p, gate, src, index, table, metric, 0);
    rt_netlink.c:864: rib_add_ipv4 (ZEBRA_ROUTE_KERNEL, 0, &p, gate, src, index, table, 0, 0);

T29 DONE Reset interface PIM-hello-sent counter when primary address changes
    See pim_ifp->pim_ifstat_hello_sent

    RFC 4601: 4.3.1.  Sending Hello Messages

    Thus, if a router needs to send a Join/Prune or Assert message on
    an interface on which it has not yet sent a Hello message with the
    currently configured IP address, then it MUST immediately send the
    relevant Hello message without waiting for the Hello Timer to
    expire, followed by the Join/Prune or Assert message.

T30 DONE Run interface DR election when primary address changes
    Reported by Andrew Lunn <andrew.lunn@ascom.ch>
    See pim_if_dr_election().

T31 If an interface changes one of its secondary IP addresses, a Hello
    message with an updated Address_List option and a non-zero
    HoldTime should be sent immediately.
    See also detect_secondary_address_change
    See also CAVEAT C15.
    See also RFC 4601: 4.3.1.  Sending Hello Messages

T32 FIXED Detection of interface primary address changes may fail when
    there are multiple addresses.
    See also CAVEAT C14.

    pim_find_primary_addr() should return interface primary address
    from connected list. Currently it returns the first address.

    Zebra daemon "show int" is able to keep the primary address as
    first address.

T33 DONE Implement debug command: test pim receive upcall
    See also TODO T6: (S,G) Assert state machine.

T34 DONE assert_action_a1

T35 DONE Review macros depending on interface I.

    See also: grep ,I\) pimd/*.c

    For the case (S,G,I) check if I is either
    1) interface attached to this per-interface S,G state (don't think so)
    or
    2) an arbitrary interface (most probably)

    For the arbitrary interface case (2), consider representing
    interface ifp as its primary address (struct in_addr ifaddr).  The
    benefit is in_addr does not need to be dereferenced, so it does
    not demand protection against crashes.

T36 DONE React to zebra daemon link-detect up/down notification.
    pim_ifp->primary_address is managed by detect_primary_address_change()
    depending on to ifp->connected (managed by zebra_interface_address_read()).

T37 DONE Review list of variables which may affect pim_upstream.c
    pim_upstream_evaluate_join_desired().
