ecmh - Easy Cast du Multi Hub
|
|
|
|
Easy Cast du Multi Hub (ecmh) is a networking daemon that relays
|
|
and aggregates multicast packets from/to network interfaces.
|
|
|
|
This allows IPv6 multicast routing on Linux and other OS's that
|
|
do not implement IPv6 multicast routing. It also allows IPv4 to
|
|
IPv6 and IPv6 to IPv4 translation of multicast traffic.
|
|
Allowing multicast where it is not available at the moment.
|
|
It also has a tunnel mode so that it can detect multicast
|
|
packets being tunneled inside protocol 41 (IPv6 in IPv4)
|
|
tunnels (RFC3056). This is for instance very handy for
|
|
projects like SixXS (http://www.sixxs.net) where we can
|
|
install this daemon on the POPs and let it easily do
|
|
multicast IPv6 allowing the m6bone (http://www.m6bone.net)
|
|
to grow and provide IPv6 multicast and because of the
|
|
translation also IPv4 multicast everywhere we would want it to be.
