Hi all,
I've been looking for a simple way to route multicast packets using a
MAC machine but did find nothing (if you know anyone that works,
please send me the reference and ignore the rest of this message.)
and so, I decided to implement one.
I added a rule to divert (actually tee) the multicast packets on the
multihomed machine and implemented a piece of code that changes an
inbound packet on interface 1 into an outbound packet on interface 2.
By running two instances of this small code I've been able to route
my packets.
The problem is that I am new to this stuff and not sure that my code
is as clean as it could, and I know that the performance I achieved
is terrible (did this forwarding with pings and noted 10 increase on
roundtrip times). Being so, I wanna ask for code samples that do the
same or close.
Moreover, I am willing to implement this routing mechanism as a NKE
and wanna some comments on the idea: do you think it's worthy? any
code samples?
Thank you all,
Lasaro Camargos
