[Olsr-users] Why BMF is forwarding the multicast packetsas unicast?

[Erik Tromp]

Javier,

I think your problem is different.

Does a ping to 224.0.0.1 work at all in your network? Just connect all
the nodes to one network, via an (Ethernet) hub or switch (without using
olsr),
then ping 224.0.0.1 . You should receive a response from all the connected
hosts.
If you do not receive a response from all connected nodes, then there is a
problem outside of OLSR-BMF. Perhaps firewall settings, blocking ICMP
traffic?

Erik

I have a similar problem, i have post it just before you!

My problem is that i make a ping how is said at the readme file, but it
doesn't work.

my quetion is ¿Does Multicast work in an Ad-hoc network with olsr?
