Are you running a multicast router?


Yes- we have pim6sd FreeBSD routers...
Which i suspect only support sMLDv1 ?

Also, you could try reverting to MLDv1 by:
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.force_mld_version=1


Yay - that works :) Fantastic :)
But only since kernel version 2.6.4 ?

I think it is best for use to leave MLDv2 alone for a bit until it stabilizes ;)

How long until Linux can route IPv6 multicast ?

Thanks !
