Hi,
We've found that when joining a multicast group on an interface where another group is already being received that a packet will be dropped when either the other group is joined or left.
Doing some investigation it appears it could be to do with the core network driver and the way the interface is stopped and restarted. A quick test was done using an old Hauppauge card, but it was dropping packets all over the place. This is on systems running SuSE 10.0.
1. Has anybody had similar problems?
2. Is anybody interested in fixing it, possibly on a commercial or contribution basis with it being given back to the community?
3. Multicast test streams can be made available for testing on a satellite, as well as simple test client
Regards,
Bob.
