For example my Alteon is dropping any packet with IP Router Alert (RFC 2113)
enabled but my HP ProCurve is handling it fine.  Due to this it will now be
a configurable option, similar to SmartPGM.  By default it is disabled, as
with version 1 and 2.

UDP/PGM is always more stable given non-conducive network infrastructure

There are no known issues with OpenPGM 2.1.26 aside of unsupported PGM
extensions: FEC, Polling, Congestion Control, designated local repairs, and
back-off interval auto-tuning.
