From 1d8ab8d3c176d31530b3ffd4547cf731018e2a45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Lüssing Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2014 17:47:52 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packets MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore, the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce unnecessary overhead: If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming from the upstream of this node... * ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the translation table, * ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested multicast listeners * ...and otherwise still gets flooded.
