I know MSF API has been published as an RFC, but I have to wait until
the IPR issue raised by Apple has been closed, because Apple requires
some fee for SSM-related implementations, which is against
BSD-license.
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/APPLE-SSM.txt
I'm not sure if this IPR is really valid or this IPR is applicable to
IGMPv3/MLDv2, but I think it's dangerous to MFC IGMPv3/MLDv2 without
any clarification.
As far as I know some Apple engineers have been aware of the issue,
but I don't know if Apple's legal staffs know it.
I really hope that this issue has been peacefully solved...
