I am routing between two private networks: 10.100.100.x <-> mrouted <-> 192.168.3.x and I can see the multicast traffic on the client side (192.168.3.x) but the switch that connects the client side network with the router is getting flooded with the multicast traffic. My understanding was that if no machines had joined a multicast group on the subnet, no multicast traffic would get past mrouted, and if one client has joined a multicast group, then the router would forward the appropriate packets to that client (and only that client!) When I looked through the mrouted man page, i didn't see any options that would fix this. googling for information on mrouted returned alot of nothing. How can I configure mrouted to only forward multicast packets to clients that join a multicast group? any help on this would be very much appreciated! regards, -bob __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
