Hello, I'm the author of the OLSR mDNS plugin. (http://www.olsr.org).
Please look here for details about the mDNS plugin: http://zioproto.ninux.org/wordpress/2009/04/04/olsrd-mdns-plugin/ When I was testing my software I tried to configure the plugin to decapsulate the mDNS traffic to the loopback interface, so that the router itself is able to see mDNS traffic. However it seems that avahi does not work by default with the loopback interface, so I tried to following patch: http://avahi.org/attachment/ticket/198/avahi-core.patch Now if I launch the avahi-discover I see also the loopback interface listed, but I don't see the services announced by other machines in the network. With tcpdump I can see that my application is sending mDNS messages on the loopback interface, so I was expecting them in the list when launching avahi-discover. If I have an application sending mDNS packets to the loopback interface, are this packets going to be processed by Avahi using the patch? There is any other patch I can try ??
