This is a software for routing multicast traffic across L2 networks.
|
|
|
|
|
It'll allow you to be very specific about the exact traffic that is sent over.

# Working Notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
1. It needs to listen on the specified port to receive multicast traffic.
|
|
|
|
|
This causes problems if there are other softwares that are also listening without using `SO_ADDR_REUSE`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For now, Disable those softwares when running this. A list of such softwares,

### How should this be designed??
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For now, I am restricting it to only consider 1 config.
|
|
|
|
|
It won't listen on multiple ports for multicast traffic. This will be changed once I have the basic structure ready.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For now, Only work on IPv4. IPv6 will be added once IPv4 is ready
