Hello Hessu (and list)
On Tue, 2013-08-06 at 13:04 +0300, Heikki Hannikainen spake:
I think the lack of multicast support in some Linux
kernel builds
makes the Perl rip44d fail for some users.
That's not the case here though. Multicast is enabled and the interfaces
are also running multicast. I am however behind a NAT router (even
though it should be moot since I do hear the broadcasts). I'm just
completely at a loss on my specific issue. netstat -g shows:
tunl0 1 224.0.0.251
tunl0 1 all-systems.mcast.net
and ifconfig tunl0 shows:
tunl0 Link encap:IPIP Tunnel HWaddr
inet addr:44.88.0.9 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1480 Metric:1
Linux 2.6 certainly supports multicast, it's been
in the kernel for a
long while (at least in kernel 1.2 it was there, and probably before
that). Some distributions apparently haven't compiled in the multicast
code.
I'm using the stock kernel for the distro. If an error popped up for me
I'd at least know where to look... but since there was no error, nothing
ever was logged, it simply acted "deaf". Netcat verfied for me that the
port was indeed open to the interface as well.
If you wish to make a switch to enable raw sockets I'll be willing to
test it for you.
