Subject: [PATCH] bridge: prevent flooding IPv6 packets that do not have a listener
Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:53:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371815638-5618-1-git-send-email-linus.luessing@web.de> (raw)

Currently if there is no listener for a certain group then IPv6 packets
for that group are flooded on all ports, even though there might be no
host and router interested in it on a port.

With this commit they are only forwarded to ports with a multicast
router.

Just like commit bd4265fe36 ("bridge: Only flood unregistered groups
to routers") did for IPv4, let's do the same for IPv6 with the same
reasoning.
