From 938f2e0b57ffe8a6df71e1e177b2978b1b33fe5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Lüssing Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2022 06:27:13 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: mcast: don't send link-local multicast to mcast routers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The addition of routable multicast TX handling introduced a bug/regression for packets with a link-local multicast destination: These packets would be sent to all batman-adv nodes with a multicast router and to all batman-adv nodes with an old version without multicast router detection. This even disregards the batman-adv multicast fanout setting, which can potentially lead to an unwanted, high number of unicast transmissions or even congestion. Fixing this by avoiding to send link-local multicast packets to nodes in the multicast router list.
