Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/9] net: support multiple independant multicast routing instances
The following patches add support for multiple independant multicast
routing instances. This can be useful to seperate traffic when building
a multicast router that is serving multiple independant networks. Patch
09 contains a more detailed description of this feature in the changelog.
The patchset consists of the following parts:
- Patch 01 and 02 consolidate a small amount of code in the different
fib_rules users.
- Patch 03 decouples fib_rules family values from real address families
to allow using them in code that is not a seperate address family without
increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.
- Patch 04 moves the raw_sock/raw_sk() definitions from icmp.h to raw.h
since they will also be used by ipmr in a following patch.
- Patch 05-08 contain some preparatory work and cleanup for supporting
multiple multicast routing instances.
- Patch 09 contains the actual changes to support multiple multicast
routing instances.
These patches have been tested using pimd by myself and using xorp by
Ben Greear.
Comments welcome.
