https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193246 --- Comment #6 from Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@FreeBSD.org> --- I'm looking at this from the perspective that 3rd party multicast code written in Java "just works" under Linux and Solaris, but fails under FreeBSD. Sure, using an IPv4 socket from the beginning would be the way to go, but now that will require pushing patches upstream to all Java software using multicast, in order to accomodate FreeBSD. It's possible, but not practical. It would be nice if the FreeBSD IPv6 stack could be modified to deal with IPv4-mapped multicast addresses for IPv6, similar to how Solaris does it. See comment from Andrey, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2014-September/039686.html If that could be made to work, then no changes to upstream code would be required. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
