Multicast: Difference between revisions

It may happen that the computer hosting PPPoE is in an inconvenient location for watching and that other networked devices should receive copies of the stream. [http://troglobit.github.io/smcroute smcroute] lets one forward multicast statically at first and can even work where programs do not understand IGMP or even multicast, which can be aided with DNAT rules and -j REDIRECT
 
FurtherIt workmay isbe possible later to have other programs listen for for IGMP internally/MLD and then "manage" smcroute, due to a possible linux limitation of only allowing one userspace program manage kernel mrouting at a time, to have maximum flexibility in upstreams and downstreams including internal sources.
 
Other software that may be useful is [https://manpages.debian.org/stable/igmpproxy igmpproxy] and [https://unfix.org/projects/ecmh/ ecmh]
