Hi, Here are a few patches to fix the issues the multicast-to-unicast feature of the bridge has: IGMP/MLD report suppression could lead to multicast packet loss. Also see ticket #17625 [0].
As previously discussed on this mailing list, AP-isolation together with bridge-hairpinning is a way to make the multicast-to-unicast feature usable even if listeners potentially suppressing reports are present: That way the bridge will get all reports and will have full control on where to forward them. For instance *not* to other STAs (unless there is a multicast router). Furthermore [PATCH netifd 2/3] introduces a netifd option to disable the multicast-to-unicast feature. [PATCH netifd 3/3] is not related to this issue but introduces a handy option (which I would like to make use of for IGMP/MLD domain segmentation). The OpenWRT specific patches should be applied after the netifd patches arrived in OpenWRT. Cheers, Linus [0]: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/17625 ~~~ Changelog v2: * Separated introduction of multicast_to_unicast configuration option in separate patch * passing multicast_to_unicast to netifd scripts via json from netifd instead of external uci command calls * Moved multicast_to_unicast uci option to be a bridge instead of bridge member option _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
