MCRoute -the multicast routes of the Linux kernel

yeahilly

SMCRoute
SMCRoute is a command line tool to manipulate the
multicast routes of the Linux kernel. It can be used as an alternative
to dynamic multicast routers like 'mrouted' in situations where static
multicast routes should be maintained and/or no proper IGMP signaling exists.

Changes

• 
  fixed the 'mroute: pending queue full, dropping entries' error
  Smcroute 0.90 didn't care about the IGMP messages delivered to
  the UDP socket that establish the MC-Router API. After some time the queue
  for the sockets filled up and the 'pending queue full' message was send
  from the kernel. To my knowledge this didn't affect smcroute or the operating
  system.
  • 
    version 0.92 reads the ICMP messages now from the UDP socket and logs
    them to syslog with daemon/debug
  • 
    smcroute does no further processing of this messages
• 
  increased the number of supported interfaces The 16 interface limit
  of version 0.90 (interfaces as listed with ifconfig) was to small, especially
  when alias interfaces where defined.
  • 
    up to 40 interfaces are no recognized by smcroute - this does not change
    the number of 'virtual interfaces' supported by the kernel (32)
  • 
    not all interfaces recognized by smcroute (40) results in a 'virtual
    interface' of the kernel (32)

Release 0.9 from September 2001 contains the sources and binaries
compiled on RedHat 7.1.

• 
  added MC group join (-j) and leave (-l) functionality  
  • 
    the options enable/disable the sending of IGMP join messages for a
    multicast group on a specific interface
• 
  removed the ' [] ...' for the '-r' option
  • 
    they are not used by the kernel to identify the route to remove
  • 
    smcroute will not complain about extra arguments for the '-r' option
    to stay compatible with releases  
• 
  improved error handling for some typical error situations
• 
  added a test script (tst-smcroute.pl)
• 
  added a man page
