The vr(4) for VT6105M takes advantage of perfect multicast filtering feature which is not present on all em(4) interface. Perfect multicast filtering can reduce unwanted multicast traffics such that it could save a lot of CPU cycles. The downside is that vr(4) cannot accept multicast frames for a multicast group without joining the multicast group first. For multicast routing purpose I guess 'options MROUTING' kernel option should be enabled to accept all multicast frames. Does your kernel have that option? > Let me know what I can do to help fix this. > > /glz > -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
