Make "allow multicast" per-interface
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This adds an "allow_multicast" attribute to the network interface
configuration and uses the old General/AllowMulticast as the default
value.  This way, both backwards compatibility and easy global
configuration are supported.

This incidentally addresses a slew of bugs in multi-network
configurations, but it does make things rather more complicated.

The categorisation of tracing output is incomplete and hence most of the verbosity levels and categories are not of much use in the current release. This is an ongoing process and here we describe the target situation rather than the current situation. Currently, the most useful verbosity levels are config, fine and finest.
