Hi A little more information please:
Are you running your own generated emane scenario or are you running the emane tutorial ? The emane tutorial configures non-emane applications and services in order to demonstrate emulator usage. I am assuming you are running olsrd since bmf0 is mentioned. Are you running olsrd over emane (most common) or are you running it in tandem with emane0 as a network interface and olsrd running on another interface ? Assuming the former: 1) is olsrd configured to use emane0 as the olsrd interface ? 2) are you configuring the bmf0 interface address since the default is to use the first olsrd interface address with 32 bit netmask I do believe ? As you probably know, In the case where applications do not specify an interface of interest, the interface would be dictated by the unicast forwarding table if possible. This is why bmf0 installs the "catch-all route" assuming that all multicast traffic will be handled by bmf configured interfaces. If the above configuration is correct packets generated by you application should be "captured" by bmf0 and then pushed towards emane0, by default. On the upstream packets would be sniffed off of emane0 and pushed into bmf0 for the kernel to distribute to listening applications. Please note that ip ttl and firewall rules come into play here often too.
