Hi,
I have a question about IPv6 site Multicasting. Our IPv6 network here is
composed of two subnets. Subnet 1 has prefix 3ffe:b80:17d2:1 and subnet 2
has prefix 3ffe:b80:17d2:2. Each subnet has a FreeBSD Router in its
domain. The two FreeBSD routers are "IPv6" connected using gif tunnels
using the existing IPv4 routing framework. The router in subnet 1 is
connected to freenet6 (through another gif tunnel.
Router 1
--------
gif0: flags=8251<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
inet6 fe80::260:8ff:fe11:d903%gif0 prefixlen 64
physical address inet 128.4.1.3 --> 128.4.2.16
gif1: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
inet6 fe80::260:8ff:fe11:d903%gif1 prefixlen 64
inet6 3ffe:b80:3:197b::2 --> 3ffe:b80:3:197b::1 prefixlen 128
physical address inet 128.4.1.3 --> 206.123.31.114
Router 2
--------
gif0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
inet6 fe80::250:daff:fedd:5333%gif0 prefixlen 64
physical address inet 128.4.2.16 --> 128.4.1.3
Our requirement is to set up NTP multicast servers at our site (subnet1
and subnet2). The NTP IPv6 site multicast address is ff05::101. An NTP
packet sent to this address (or any address starting with ff05::) from any
machine on subnet1 or subnet2 should be received by all machnies on both
subnets. The router on subnet 1 should drop all ff05 packets received from
freenet6 and should not route any ff05 poackets over to freenet6.
I would aprreciate any help in this regard...
Thanks,
Harish
