I totally agree. However, other people don't and they want ASM in v6.
I made it a point to ensure that we had a nice SSM range for v6 (see
RFC 3306).
What I would like to see with this work is whether or not we can have
ASM without the burden of MSDP.
If I had my way, SSM would be the solution even if we did have to deal
with N^2 state. I would prefer that kind of problem. :)
