Hi David:

Turns out that the current version is RFC 3376:
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3376.txt

It not only specifies "perfect" filtering, but a host of other stuff. Also,
there's a patch to the (2.4.18) kernel that brings it into IGMPv3 compliance
here:

http://www.multicasttech.com/igmpv3/

Do you are anyone else know when this patch might become part of the
distribution?

thanks in advance...
don
