Hi, I have been using a recent snapshot version of QEMU (5th July, 2007) which has the eepro100 Ethernet driver, in order to set up a couple of routing engines (one each in a separate QEMU VM). While I have basic connectivity between each engine (including telnet between each) it seems that the RIP/OSPF routing updates do not pass between them (I have let to try a TCP based one). These are multicast UDP packets, which seem to be output the FXP0 interface (see tcpdump below) and I can even see them on the TAP0 interface, but they don't appear to be received by the other VM. The two VM are connected using VDE (with different values for HDA & macaddresses). Does the emulated Ethernet driver receive multicast udp packets? I assumed that the virtual switch is forwarding the packets since they are received by the TAP0 interface.
Anyway any information or light that could be shed would be appreciated.
