Mark Felder <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #17 from Mark Felder <[email protected]> --- (In reply to vjs from comment #6) > Multicasting makes no sense to me on an interface > that is really a point-to-point link between two systems. I've had desire to use GRE tunnels to do multicast on several occasions (*cough* between Xen VMs because Xen doesn't support multicast on its virtual switching fabric), and I'd like to note that a few years ago dealing with unchangeable customer network designs I have run into situations where they were doing routing protocols over GRE tunnels advertising using *multicast* which is exactly what this aims to fix. I don't know why this fix has been rotting in a PR for so long. It's a real-world scenario I've encountered in the wild and missing functionality like this is preventing people from being able to replace awful routing equipment with FreeBSD appliances. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
