Add support for static multicast routes #31
Comments
We could integrate the functionality of SMCRoute, which would be possible, but looking at HP ProCurve, Cisco, and others, they seems to have a syntax more centered around the RPF tree than the group:
For daemons like mrouted, which maintain an RPF tree, this could be a useful feature. However, |
Yeah, so that |
The Cisco Postponing this for future again, it seems doable but there's a lot of changes needed to make static routes fit in with everything else. |
Apparently, the way to achieve this on Cisco/Juniper is to configure a static group on the outbound interface:
Juniper have the following syntax, for emulating both IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 join:
Cisco have:
So I propose a |
For some use-cases where mrouted replaces SMCRoute it would be useful to support setting static routes as well. E.g., a router with three interfaces, where mrouted runs on two of them, a user might want to set up static routes from/to either of these to/from the third one.
The MROUTING stack in both Linux and *BSD does not allow for this using different daemons, since only one can do MRT_INIT for that MRT_TABLE, and each MRT_TABLE can only hold unique interfaces, i.e. no overlap is allowed.
