Hello,
The easiest way is to recompile and install the mrouted daemon on your PC (either 2.4 or 2.6 kernels). You then write a simple configuration in /etc/mrouted.conf to enable or disable Ethernet ports where multicast is supported or not. We have downloaded mrouted from the Debian site but the URL http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/mrouted is no longer valid. You may download mrouted from other FTP sites. Yours sincerely, Laurent MARIE ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Emin Gencpinar Sent: vendredi 12 janvier 2007 18:10 To: nistnet@antd.nist.gov Subject: [nistnet] Linux behaving as multicast router Hi all, Did any one used linux as multicast router before ? We can use linux as a router working "sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" line. If multicast traffic from one subnet arrives linux ( as a router ), it does not pass multicast packets to the other subnet. Because of it does not care about these multicast packets, it receives but discards them ( like host approach, not a router approach as one network node ). We read MBONE and mrouted as a ip_mroute_mod loadable kernel module from the previous versions of linux, which we could not load to our kernel 2.6. We could not find ip_mroute_mod on the Internet. Is there anyone who already uses a linux machine as a multicast traffic enabled router ? Thanks in advance...
