  19 .SH DESCRIPTION
  20 .B mroute
  21 objects are multicast routing cache entries created by a user-level
  22 mrouting daemon (f.e.
  23 .B pimd
  24 or
  25 .B mrouted
  26 ).
  27
  28 Due to the limitations of the current interface to the multicast routing
  29 engine, it is impossible to change
  30 .B mroute
  31 objects administratively, so we can only display them.  This limitation
  32 will be removed in the future.
