      docs: gluon-mesh-batman-adv: note regarding IGMP/MLD snooping switches · ff050a29
      Linus Lüssing authored
      This adds a warning that entprise switches with an IGMP/MLD snooping
      feature are not supported yet with IGMP/MLD filtering enabled.
      
      For this to work, firstly the Linux bridge on the Gluon node needs to
      support Multicast Router Discovery (RFC4286). But this feature was only
      added to the Linux kernel recently, in 5.1.
      
      Secondly, a Gluon node would need to periodically send "Multicast Router
      Advertisment" (RFC4286) messages, to "announce" the multicast router
      port setting on bridge port bat0.
      
      Thirdly, the IGMP/MLD snooping switches would need to implement
      RFC4286.
