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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218959 Title: KVM virbr# no longer forwards multicast traffic by default (U12.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1218959/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
