It seems that the bridge stops the multicast traffic. I looked at the bridge source code and i saw that there is no special code to handle ethernet multicast mac adresses. The only code i found is that the bridge duplicates the packet for the local interface if the brgXX interface has the flag IFF_MULTI set. I think that the problem is that the bridge has already seen a special mac adress on its interface ethY so it doesn't duplicate the packet on its other interfaces (ethZ). What can i do ? Does someone experienced the same problem ? Thanks for help Please CC me personaly because i didn't subsribed to the lkml.
