From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Simon Tennant Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 09:20:12 +0000 Subject: [LARTC] Multicast love Message-Id: <20060316092012.GA9194@imaginator.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: lartc@vger.kernel.org I am trying to get multicast traffic to traverse 3 different subnets call connected to the same linux router. This is primarily to get rendezvous/zeroconf services working for Macs on the network. Being able to experiment with the VideoLAN client's multicasting abilities would be a bonus. I see that rendezvous sends out packets with a TTL of 1 and expects them back with a TTL of 255 so I guess I will have to do some packet mangling in iptables. The limited documentation out there recommends running a multicast router like PimD. What does this add to the setup? Surely it's just a cast of some iptables rules allowing 224/4 between networks? Am I missing the point here? Any good documents on multicast?
