+INTRODUCTION
+
+        qpimd aims to implement a PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast)
+	daemon for the Quagga Routing Suite.
+
+	Initially qpimd targets only PIM SSM (Source-Specific
+	Multicast) mode as defined in section 4.8.2 (PIM-SSM-Only
+	Routers) of RFC 4601.
+
+	In order to deliver end-to-end multicast routing control
+	plane, qpimd includes the router-side of IGMPv3	(RFC 3376).

+
+PLATFORMS
+
+	qpimd has been tested with Debian Lenny under Linux 2.6.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+
+	qpimd requires Quagga (0.99.11 or higher from http://www.quagga.net)
+
+	The GNU Build System (Autotools) is required to build from
+	source code repository.
+
+	gawk is also needed to build with Autotools. Any other awk
+	usually won't work.
+
+BUILDING FROM QUAGGA GIT REPOSITORY
+
+	1) Get the latest quagga source tree
+
+	# git clone git://code.quagga.net/quagga.git quagga
+
+	2) Apply qpimd patch into quagga source tree
+
+	# patch -p1 -d quagga < pimd-0.153-quagga-git20090623.patch
+
+	3) Compile and install quagga
+
+	# cd quagga
+	# ./bootstrap.sh
+	# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/quagga --enable-pimd
+	# make
+	# make install
+
+BUILDING FROM QUAGGA TARBALL
+
+	1) Get the latest quagga tarball
+
+	# wget http://www.quagga.net/download/quagga-0.99.13.tar.gz
+
+	2) Unpack the quagga tarball
+
+	# tar xzf quagga-0.99.13.tar.gz
+
+	3) Apply qpimd patch into quagga source tree
+
+	# patch -p1 -d quagga-0.99.13 < pimd-0.153-quagga-0.99.13.patch
+
+	4) Compile and install quagga
+
+	# cd quagga-0.99.13
+	# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/quagga --enable-pimd
+	# make
+	# make install
+
+USAGE
+
+	1) Configure and start the zebra daemon
+
+	# cp /usr/local/quagga/etc/zebra.conf.sample /usr/local/quagga/etc/zebra.conf
+	# vi /usr/local/quagga/etc/zebra.conf
+	# /usr/local/quagga/sbin/zebra
+
+	2) Configure and start the pimd daemon
+
+	# cp /usr/local/quagga/etc/pimd.conf.sample /usr/local/quagga/etc/pimd.conf
+	# vi /usr/local/quagga/etc/pimd.conf
+	# /usr/local/quagga/sbin/pimd
+
+	3) Access pimd vty interface at port TCP 2611
+
+	# telnet localhost 2611
