Hi Philip So with a bit of poking and prodding, we have a much better understanding as to why this is O.K. Maybe your next patch can quote the relevant RFCs and have a much fuller commit message? Thanks Andrew -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the bod

2015-08-12 Thread Philip Downey
IGMP reports are generated for link local multicast groups (224.0.0.1 - 224.0.0.255) used by the routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF etc. In general routers do not generate reports for local multicast groups. IGMP reports for local multicast groups can now be inhibited by means of a system control
