No. MROUTING is for if you're a multicast router, not if you're using a routing protocol that uses multicast. > tcpdump reveals that gated sends ospf HELO requests to 224.0.0.5 The 224.0.0.x range of groups is not forwarded by multicast routers, so even if you did enable MROUTING (and run a multicast routing daemon), these packets would never get forwarded.
