gnrc_ipv6: Forward multicast packets even if they are registered with the receiving netif #4528

Closed

Currently if you send a broadcast to ff05::1 for example a routing node doesn't forward the packed if the router itself has the address assigned to it's receiving interface.

Thoughts on the subject are welcome :)

This ignores the flags of a multicast address. ff12::1 would also be a legal link-local address.

Another problem is, that we currently don't implement MLP, so this configuration will most likely flood a network.

Would I also need to change the >= to > since forwarding link-local speaks against itself...

oh and while we're are at nitpicky stuff: the module you're changing is gnrc_ipv6 not gnrc_sixlowpan

What does MLP stand for? Multinode Link Layer Protocol?

And sorry about that, first thought it was 6Low specific.

I believe @authmillenon was referring to MLD

I have not tested it yet, but code-wise it looks alright. Will test at the Hack'n'ACK :-)

Wait a minute: what if the router has the address assigned to one of its interfaces. Then it won't forward it though it might make sense.

Whit this PR it would forward it? That was my intention at leased. But maybe I misunderstood what you said.

Ah okay, yes. I forgot about the ||... But shouldn't it also receive it?

Yeah, I thought it tries to process it anyway. Will fix tonight. :)

When I try to ping an added ff0e::1 on another node the receiver hard faulted due to a failed assertion in packet buffer.

Last time I tried this was 20 December probably, and I don't have tranceivers at home yet. Moving to next release. :)

Hm, since this is a bugfix, we can still merge - and I would like to see this problem solved.
