I've put together a router for work - it's a 7-Stable box, with 3
dual-port NICs in it.
It's in use by our test/dev folks, and I've been asked to
enable/configure multicast on it. It has one port on the production
LAN (192.168.123.0/24), and the other 5 on the test/dev networks
(10.0.0.0/24,
it properly
insofar as I understood it.
I also re-compiled the kernels of the firewalls to enable multicast
routing.
I have not succeeded in getting the phone systems to see eachothers'
multicast packets, and after
several attempts, all I have done is to crash the firewalls, and annoy

We have been doing that for years.
But don't expect too much speed with a PIII 800, we usually have
Ahh! I am doing some testing of multicast video
streaming. It streams a single 8Mbps stream fine but
if I add another to it the throughput just falls away
for both streams.
Am I asking too much to stream approx 16Mbps? I kinda
thought that 100Mbps NICs and a PIII would handle it.
I don't suppose
1. pick up the multicast packets before they are routed in the kernel
That would not be a clean way to do it, but if you want to
concentrate on your routing module, why not using a firewall to do the
pick-up/redirection of the packets?
I read that IPF has a way to write rules that will redirect
Hi,
I am working on a project that required me to modify the routing behaviours
at the kernel level. I have been searching information from the Internet and
FreeBSD.org. But no luck at all. Basically, I need to do the following:
1. pick up the multicast packets before they are routed in the
that are wanted.
For multiple ethernet cards on one machine, a multicast routing program
such as pimd (PIM) or mrouted (DVMRP) is usually used, and it forwards
data when a remote client joins a multicast group (address).
You sound like you want to static route the multicast traffic. I have
seen default
Anyone have any good how-to's on how to setup a FreeBSD box to do multicast
routing? Im wanting to setup a FreeBSD gateway that will have a Cable modem
and a DSL modem connected to it. Any traffic on certain ports I want to go
through (out) one interface (dc0) and the rest to go through
