From f771bef98004d9d141b085d987a77d06669d4f4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nivedita Singhvi Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 07:00:46 +0000 Subject: ipv4: New multicast-all socket option After some discussion offline with Christoph Lameter and David Stevens regarding multicast behaviour in Linux, I'm submitting a slightly modified patch from the one Christoph submitted earlier. This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL. In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this socket option.
