Environment (dom0)
Buggy equipment malformed IGMP traffic on it's way to eth1 so the bridge module was not aware of the other multicast groups members, that's why the traffic wasn't forwarded. That was hard to investigate (everything worked just fine on the same switch's port before we changed the server), sorry for any inconvenience. |
Created attachment 68262 [details] Output illustrating the issue Trying to send multicast frames designated to networks other than 224.0.0.0/24 will result in frames being dropped on the bridge. Tested with bridge created in Xen 4.1.1 Dom0. Output illustrating the issue attached.
