This is a firewall plugin specifically layered on top of Netfilter Framework. Project was initiated by Dr. Sivaraman (EET, UNSW) . It is a dynamic filter for multicast traffic (Forward mode in Netfilter switch/edge firewall). Although the README specifies you need the entire kernel-source*, you only probably need -kernel-headers*.rpm|deb depending on your kernel netfilter module configuration (xtables should be enabled).
