Subject[RFC/PATCH] Add a socketoption IPV6_MULTICAST_ALL analogue to the IPV4 version
Date
Hi.

I was running into a problem, when trying to join multiple multicast groups
on a single socket and thus binding to the any-address on said socket. I
received traffic from multicast groups, I did not join on that socket and
was at first surprised by that. After reading some old e-mails/threads,
which came to the conclusion "It is, as it is."
(e.g https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=115815686626791&w=2), I discovered
the IPv4 socketoption IP_MULTICAST_ALL, which, when disabled, does exactly
what I would expect from a socket by default.

I propose a socket option for IPv6, which does the same and has the same
default as the IPv4 version. My first thought was, to just apply
IP_MULTICAST_ALL to a ipv6 socket, but that would change the behavior of
current applications and would probably be a big no-no.

Regards
Andre

Subject: [PATCH] Add a socketoption IPV6_MULTICAST_ALL analogue to the IPV4
version

The socket option will be enabled by default to ensure current behaviour
is not changed. This is the same for the IPv4 version.

A socket bound to in6addr_any and a specific port will receive all traffic
on that port. Analogue to IP_MULTICAST_ALL, disable this behaviour, if
one or more multicast groups were joined (using said socket) and only
pass on multicast traffic from groups, which were explicitly joined via
this socket.

Without this option disabled a socket (system even) joined to multiple
multicast groups is very hard to get right. Filtering by destination
address has to take place in user space to avoid receiving multicast
traffic from other multicast groups, which might have traffic on the same
port.

The extension of the IP_MULTICAST_ALL socketoption to just apply to ipv6,
too, is not done to avoid changing the behaviour of current applications.
