I am trying to set up a tunnel from my linux machine to the MBone. My kernel (2.4.2) supports multicasting and advanced routing: CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y I have read http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Multicast-HOWTO.html and http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html. Unfortunately, Section 7 of the Advanced Routing HOWTO (Multicast routing) says: "FIXME: Editor Vacancy! (somebody is working on it, though)" Suppose I know the IP address of a nearby multicast router and would like to set up a tunnel from my machine to that router (a tunnel to the MBone), so that I may receive multicast datagrams in spite of the fact that intervening routers are ignorant of multicast routing protocols. Is this possible with the 2.4.2 kernel? I cannot find documentation to this effect, but the existence of <linux/mroute.h> (which contains some structs previously defined in mrouted) makes me think that it is possible. -- Dave Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
