From ab49886e3da73b6b35ece21006e191910427bb30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Linus=20L=C3=BCssing?= Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2014 17:47:53 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast support MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes IPv6 multicast packet, too. The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6 link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2 and section 3). Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to break compatibility later. Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will always receive these ranges.
