HISTORY
matrix.conf is the configuration file from matrix.pl and is a joint
work of Hugo Santos, Sebastien Chaumontet and Mickael Hoerdt. It has
been done in the early days of the m6bone, when nobody knew if the SPTs
or RPTs were being used between hosts and also to evaluate the
performance and deployment of SSM.
