IPv4 and IPv6 multicast is supported. By default all commands will be executed on IPv4 daemon. To execute a command on the IPv6 daemon use `-6`.
We support multiple tables. Each daemon process will be bind to a given multicast and unicast table id, with can be defined at startup with `-mvrf` and `-uvrf`.
If `-mvrf` is not defined, the default multicast table id will be used (table id 0).
If `-uvrf` is not defined, the default unicast table id will be used (table id 254).
After starting the protocol process, if the default multicast table is not used, the following commands (for adding interfaces and listing state) need to have the argument `-mvrf` defined to specify the corresponding daemon process.

Files tree/globals.py, igmp/igmp_globals.py and mld/mld_globals.py store all timer values and some configurations regarding PIM-DM, IGMP and MLD. If you want to tune the implementation, you can change the values of these files. These configurations are used by all interfaces, meaning that there is no tuning per interface.
