Our target router has linux 2.6 kernel running on it. The mcast-tools application suggested in Tahi site (mcast-tools-20061214<http://www.tahi.org/logo/phase2-core/result/Self_Test_4-0-3/freebsd71.router/>) is build for FreeBSD and not Linux. I found a multicast application, mrd6-0.9.6.tar.gz for Linux and I built the same for our target. Also I applied the following kernel patch "*patch*-* linux2*.*6.9*-*ipv6*-*mforwarding*-0.1d" to our kernel. Now the Multicast testcases are passing. But I observe that the mrd package does the entire multicast routing in the user space. The Kernel stack is used only for socket operations and the control never flows into ip6_mr_forward function in the kernel for mcast operations. The idea behind IPv6 Ready logo is to test the kernel IPv6 stack of the target. So I am not sure if I can submit the results obtained using this tool. Has anyone executed the multicast routing conformance test cases on routers with 2.6 kernel? If so, Kindly let me know which multicast package to use ? Kindly Clarify. Thanks in advance.
