hi all,

        This is my first message to the group.My name is Anirban Chakraborti and I am with new mexico state university.

I have recently built a  router using suse linux.I need to turn on IGMP and PIM to allow it do multicasting.How to do that? Secondly I also want to control the rate of the datatransfer from the router's ethernet interface to the ppp interface.

Thanks for the help,

Anirban

To enable multicast support and multicast routing, you _maybe_ will need
to recompile your kernel, but I would say that any recent SuSE
distribution probably have the already compiled on. Just check boot
messages (execute dmesg o see /var/log/*). If you need to recompile the
kernel, go to and select:
Networking options  ---> [*] TCP/IP networking
  ---> [*]   IP: multicasting
                    ---> [*]   IP: multicast routing
  [*]     IP: PIM-SM version 1 support (NEW)
  [*]     IP: PIM-SM version 2 support (NEW)

And the recompile as usual.

To limit traffic, even if it is multicast, check the HOWTO, list
archives and scripts at lartc.org.

Hope this helps.
