+ * DOC: Multicast route kernel synchronization
+ *
+ * This protocol is the BIRD's interface to the kernel part of multicast
+ * routing. It assignes the VIF indices to interfaces, forwards the IGMP
+ * packets to SK_IGMP sockets and, of course, adds MFC entries to the kernel.
+ *
+ * Multicast in current kernel is a bit tricky. There must be exactly one
+ * socket on which setsockopt MRT_INIT is called, then multicast forwarding is
+ * enabled. Every multicast routing table update must be done through this
+ * protocol.
+ *
+ * Also, that socket is the only one that receives IGMP packets on non-joined
+ * groups. These packets IGMP protocol needs to receive, so we forward them
+ * internally. To simulate sane behavior, protocol can open socket with type
+ * SK_IGMP, which is almost as a SK_IP, IPPROTO_IGMP socket but receives copy
+ * of all packets.
+ *
+ * As always with system-dependent code, prepare for everything. Because the
+ * BSD kernel knows nothing apart from (S,G) routes, and Linux even blocked the
+ * (*,G) routes for something not being a regular (*,G) routes, we must add the
+ * routes in reaction to missed packets. This is very bad, but probably the
+ * only solution, until someone rewrites the kernel part.
+ *
+ * Part of the protocol is global and "static", without the need to configure.
+ * Another part is a usual proto instance.
