#define quoting(Mark Handley) // In any event, the solution I've ended up with is to configure a // multicast capable FreeBSD "discard" interface, and to set the route // for 224/4 to point there. // // To do this you need to patch if_disc.c to not set IFF_LOOPBACK. // I.e., change: // ifp->if_flags = IFF_LOOPBACK | IFF_MULTICAST; // to // ifp->if_flags = IFF_MULTICAST | IFF_BROADCAST; Is there anything preventing this from being the default for that interface ? In a "discard" interface, there's no real meaning in being LOOPBACK or BROADCAST, since the packets will be discarded. :) This seems to be the yield of a conversion (kludge ?) from the loopback device.
