Multicast is not supported in the new release. We, in basser, add multicast
to the IP code, ethernet filtering and counting, and IGMP processing in 
user-mode. We have a 9vat application, but it's not extremely clever
with missed and duplicated messages. 

If you are interesting in the code, or want to improve 9vat ☺ please
mail me.
