Hello everyone, While testing the (very awesome!) bridge igmp/mld snooping support I came across two issues which are breaking IPv6 multicast snooping and IPv6 non-link-local multicast on bridges with multicast snooping support enabled in general. The first two patches shall fix these issues. The third one addresses a potential bug on little endian machines which I noticed during this little code reviewing. This patch is untested though, feedback welcome. The fourth and fifth patch are a suggestion to also permit using the bridge multicast snooping feature for link local multimedia multicast traffic. Therefore using the transient multicast flag instead of the non-link-local scope criteria seems to be a suitable solution at least for IPv6, in my opinion. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks for reviewing these patches. Cheers, Linus
These look correct. Did you test them with real traffic?
