Below is a patch that allows forcing of the IGMP version. The primary
use would be with an IGMP-snooping switch that doesn't grok IGMPv3
packet formats and when there are no IGMPv2 or IGMPv1 multicast
routers on the network. By forcing the IGMP reports to version 2 (or
version 1, for really old switches), Linux would send reports that the
switch can understand for multicast forwarding to the port.
+-DLSDo you have a plan to make a patch to force the MLD version? I think it is also helpful. Regards, Takashi Hibi
