Currently the only way to clear the forwarding cache was to delete the entries one by one using the MRT_DEL_MFC socket option or to destroy and recreate the socket. Create a new socket option which with the use of optional flags can clear any combination of multicast entries (static or not static) and multicast vifs (static or not static). Calling the new socket option MRT_FLUSH with the flags MRT_FLUSH_MFC and MRT_FLUSH_VIFS will clear all entries and vifs on the socket except for static entries.
