[libvirt-users] multicast traffic no longer working after reboot

[Dennis Jacobfeuerborn]

Hi,
today a couple of Hypervisors got restarted due to a power outage. While
the systems and the VMs on the are running fine multicast traffic
between the guests is no longer working.

I generate multicast udp packet using iperf in the guest and check on
the host using tcpdump:

tcpdump vnet0 => multicast packets are visible
tcpdump vlanbr8 => multicast packets are visible
tcpdump em1.8 => no multicast packets visible

vlanbr8 is the bridge, vnet0 the interface of the guest and em1.8 the
physical interface for vlan 8.

I compared the settings in /sys/class/net/vlanbr8/bridge/multicast_*
with a system where multicast works fine and see no differences. brctl
showstp also shows "mc router" to be 1 for both interfaces and the
bridge. All settings in /proc/sys/net/bridge/* are 0.

Any ideas why the bridge doesn't seem to forward multicast packets?
iperf with unicast udp also works fine so it's just multicast that is
the problem.

Regards,
  Dennis
