Here at work we're implementing qemu mcas= t networking while using avahi-autoipd to obtain network address. The imple= mentation of qemu networking is the following:

-net nic,vlan= =3D1,macaddr=3D52:54:00:12:34:01,model=3Dvirtio -net socket,vlan=3D1,mcast= =3D230.0.0.1:1234

So, while running avahi-autoipd we get his messages:

[root= @localhost ~]# avahi-autoipd eth1
Found user 'avahi-au= toipd' (UID 499) and group 'avahi-autoipd' (GID 499).
Succes= sfully called chroot().
Successfully dropped root privileges.
Starting with address 169.254.2.17= 6
Callout BIND, address 169.254.2.176 on interface eth1
Received conflicti= ng normal ARP packet.
Callout CONFLICT, address 169.254.2.176 on interfa= ce eth1
Trying address 169.254.189.32
Callout BIND, address 169.254.1= 89.32 on interface eth1
Received conflicting normal ARP packet.

After sniffing ARP p= ackets, we've realized that we're getting ARP packets back, which s= crews with autoipd. I think this is due to the mcast implementation not doi= ng RPF. Is your mcast implementation supposed to do RPF?? If it is, we'= ve got ourselves a bug.

Thanks for your help,

Look forward to hear from you.
