Hi,<br><br>I have a query on testing multicast routing as a part of IPv6 Ph=
ase-2 Conformance Testing.<br><br>Our target router has linux 2.6 kernel ru=
nning on it. The mcast-tools application suggested in Tahi site (<a href==
"http://www.tahi.org/logo/phase2-core/result/Self_Test_4-0-3/freebsd71.rout=
er/" target="_blank">mcast-tools-20061214</a>) is build for FreeBSD and n=
ot Linux.<br>
<br>I found a multicast application, mrd6-0.9.6.tar.gz for Linux and I buil=
t the same for our target. Also I applied the following kernel
patch "<em>patch</em>-<em>linux2</em>.<em>6.9</em>-<em>ipv6</em>-<em>m=
forwarding</em>-0.1d" to our kernel. <br><br>Now the Multicast testcas=
es are passing. But I observe that the mrd package does the entire <span cl=
ass="il">multicast</span>
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. <br><br>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 ?<br><br>Kindly Clarify.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Re=
