multihomed FreeBSD

Postby route » 04 Sep 2006 08:15

Hi!

I've just successfuly installed vlc 0.8.5 on my FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE and noticed some interesting behaviour -- I got two ipv4-enabled ifaces (fxp0 and fxp1) on this host and when I transmit something via rtp, multicast packets *does* flow but towards the first iface only (fxp0). Similary, when I try to join a multicast group I see host-originated igmp-packets only on 1st iface. Is there any way to use 2nd iface?

TIA!

None of the devs run FreeBSD (or any other BSD variants AFAIK). You're pretty much on you're own :/ Feel free to submit patches or come on the IRC channel if you need help though.

Mutlicast gets out through the interface that holds a route to the multicast prefix. You either alter your routing table, or use --miface and --miface-addr settings.
