The first two patches shall fix these issues. The third one addresses a potential bug on little endian machines which I noticed during this little code reviewing. This patch is untested though, feedback welcome. The fourth and fifth patch are a suggestion to also permit using the bridge multicast snooping feature for link local multimedia multicast traffic. Therefore using the transient multicast flag instead of the non-link-local scope criteria seems to be a suitable solution at least for IPv6, in my opinion. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks for reviewing these patches. Cheers, Linus
