Revision e4de9f9e8333fbbae951c6e068f501f955123cf0 authored by Linus Lüssing on 15 February 2011, 13:19:21 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 22 February 2011, 18:07:28 UTC
Currently the multicast bridge snooping support is not active for link local multicast. I assume this has been done to leave important multicast data untouched, like IPv6 Neighborhood Discovery. In larger, bridged, local networks it could however be desirable to optimize for instance local multicast audio/video streaming too. With the transient flag in IPv6 multicast addresses we have an easy way to optimize such multimedia traffic without tempering with the high priority multicast data from well-known addresses. This patch alters the multicast bridge snooping for IPv6, to take effect for transient multicast addresses instead of non-link-local addresses.
