>>>>>>>>>>>>Looking a little bit in the source-code it seems that it installs a route True . it installs multicast route { /prox/net/ip_mr_cache }. But route comes into play only at POSTROUTING hook . { after reaching box } .Since i dont have any rule in INPUT to accept those ,it should be rejected . You confirmed that IGMP wont go to ESTABLISHED state . I think , i have to debug more .
