Multicast flooding?
Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2017 11:07 pm
I seem to have a bit of flooding between users on the same virtualhub (and currently only running with one hub).
From the documentation (https://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-manu ... ng_dropped.)
"All multicast packets at the layer 2 level will be broadcast to all VPN sessions by the Virtual Hub."
In other words, by creating a seperate Virtual HUB for each user (but using the same bridge interfaces), I could avoid flooding? For development purposes, I have a IPTV-setup running over Ethersoft. But I get some issues when multiple users are connected at the same time, and I noticed on my end that I seem to be receiving multicast I don't use, but that other users might be using.
