How to configure IP Multicast in a router

jazzsir · 08-22-2011, 06:16 AM

Hi,

I am personally developing an AP wired/wireless hosts can connect to.
I want to know how to set up the IP multicast function
and how to test it
I found some documents but it is too old(in the late 1990’s)
If you know where good documents is, let me know

My environment is below
# uname -a
Linux cpe.amazon_s.infineon.com 2.6.20.19 #21 Fri Aug 12 09:54:58 KST 2011 mips unknown
# busybox
BusyBox v1.00 (2011.08.03-08:42+0000) multi-call binary

Thank you.

Hi
You need to install additional software like igmpproxy.

Thank you for your replay.

I have some quetions.
1) Is igmpproxy similar to smcroute?
2) If My egdge router do not support IP multicast. should I set up Mbone to make tunnels?
3) If so, Do you know how to set up Mbone in linux?
