[Xorp-hackers] How to get IPMulticastListen API in Linux

[manishb.patel at einfochips.com]

Hi,

I am new member to xorp hackers community.

I have been using XORP version xorp-1.4 for one of the project where we develop a framework which verifies various protocols are RFC compliance or not.

We have been working on as of now IGMPv3 and as a Software IP router we have chosen xorp due to its extendable features.

As per RFC 3376 we found that IP service of the system supports IPMulticastListen API which can be used from host side to join or leave the group.

We have tried to search same API in Linux but we couldn't get it.

Though we can do join/leave source specific join leaves by using setsockopt with various flags.

Can you please give me idea about my following doubts.

1. Does Linux support IPMulticastListen API? if yes then any idea about Kernel version from which we can get it?

I know about setipv4sourcefilter API but as per IGMPv3 IPMulticastListen should be used for member ship.


Please provide me useful information such that i can proceed further.

Thanks & Regards
Manish Patel
