To enable multicast support and multicast routing, you _maybe_ will need
to recompile your kernel, but I would say that any recent SuSE
distribution probably have the already compiled on. Just check boot
messages (execute dmesg o see /var/log/*). If you need to recompile the
kernel, go to and select:
Networking options ---> [*] TCP/IP networking
---> [*] IP: multicasting
---> [*] IP: multicast routing
[*] IP: PIM-SM version 1 support (NEW)
[*] IP: PIM-SM version 2 support (NEW)
And the recompile as usual.
To limit traffic, even if it is multicast, check the HOWTO, list
archives and scripts at lartc.org.
Hope this helps.
