Hello,
Context: IGMP Proxying.
For using multicast routing API with setsockopt and MRT_ADD_MFC, we need to set the mfcc_origin in a struct mfcctl.
Is there a way to use a wildcard for mfcc_origin to say "any origin" IP address, by example 0.0.0.0 ?
Thus we could add a MFC with only the multicast group and the mfcc_parent, reading a SOCK_RAW/IPPROTO_IGMP socket, without the need to listen the multicast flow to find the origin IP.
Any thought ?
