Thanks for the patch and test instructions.

Should this be tested using U12.04.2 LTS or U12.04.4 LTS as a baseline
and should I apply updates to the installation first?

A few questions:
1)  I don't understand how of the "security update" superceeding this patch 
affects this problem unless it prevents enabling MC on bridge?  
2) There is reference to an independent kernel update to libvirt has addressed 
this problem and if so, in which kernel.  The comment #3 mentioned a redhat bug 
but the comments of that bug say it's not going to be propagated and looks 
project specific.  Maybe I misread it?
3) I originally applied a udev rule myself, but specific to the single bridged 
interface I'm using to send multicast over.  Your proposed udev patch applies 
this to all virbr* interfaces.  Is this ok/sensible?

Personally, I think for U12.04.2LTS back ports, MC traffic should have
simply been left as-is.  Future releases should have adopted proper
handling of MC traffic and required Querier to be enabled.

Appreciate any insight, thanks.
