Networking :: Mapping Ethernet Multicast Address?
Nov 23, 2010
have a doubt about the multicast address.I have read that IP and ethernet multicast address have the same last 23 bits. While an ethernet multicast address always starts with 01:00:5E. Changing the last 23 bits of the IP address into hexadecimal form and "adding" them to the first 24 bits we find the ethernet address but what about the missing bit??? For istance I have: 230.11.111.10 = 11100110.00001011.01101111.00001010 So converting the last 23 bits I have b:6f:a The final ethernet address will be 01:00:5E:b:6f:a . And what about the missing bit?

I make an application on GNU/Linux which listening on a MULTICAST stream, so I open my unconnected socket, bind it on a MULTICAST address and a port, join the multicast group with the "setsockopt (IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP)", then I receive datagram on my socket.
Now I've two different instances of the same application that run with their own MULTICAST address and port. And what I found strange is that, after a misconfiguration, I switch the ports, for example:
Emitting on 225.0.0.1/23451 and 225.0.0.2/23452
Receiving on 225.0.0.1/23452 and 225.0.0.2/23451
And my receiving part doesn't care about the MULTICAST address, it looks like the socket is listening on the port number only! I mean that the receiver [225.0.0.1/23452] take its datagrams from emitter [225.0.0.2/23452] and vice-versa!

I'm using at struct sockaddr_in to receive multicast data sent out from another machine. When I print out the source address using inet_ntoa it gives me the source address of the PC that sent the data. This is ok but I would like to know if there is a way of getting the multicast address that the data was 'sent to'. I know I can see the multicast address in tcpdump being directed to my PC but I would like to be able to display the multicast address too? Is this possible or does the sockaddr_in give me the source address of the packet not the multicast address that the packet was sent to?

I am trying to install a Red Hat cluster on my servers. In order to configure an heart bit between the servers I must give a valid multicast address. I wanted to know if there is a way to validate a multicast address before using it. For example if it is already in use i don't want to use it.
I read a little about it and there is a Perl module called IO::Socket::Multicast: [URL] There is a tool called mcasttrest.pl: [URL] Oracle use it to test multicast. But I am not sure what will do the trick in Red Hat cluster.

I have a usb device that is setup to use a networking interface. When I connect the usb device, ifconfig automatically shows a new interface "usbX", and it has an assigned IP address, e.g. "192.168.X.1" - yes, the "X" is the same number between the address and the interface name. Each time I connect the usb device, it gets a different ip address...
192.168.9.1, 192.168.10.1, etc (actually the device address ends in .2, the PC is .1)
How do I configure this device to always have the same address? Or maybe it's more accurate to ask, how do I configure linux to always assign the network address with this device?

I had had my internet connection working using PPPoE, but after I did some tweaking and configuring on the machine (configuring Samba), I wasn't able to connect to the internet and on the syslog said:Code:Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARPI'm using dynamic IP address on my internet account. Is this problem related to Samba server configuration that is running?

I've just arrived at uni and to set up my wifi apparently I need my "media access control which is listed as the phsyical address for ethernet adaptor local area connection." on windows you can find it by using the command ipconfig /all but that didn't work when i put it into terminal.

I've added a 2nd ethernet network card into my linux box. After I installed it the box recognized the new card and mapped it to eth1, as I expect. I then configured the addresses and routing for my eth0 and eth1 interface. Since then I had shutdown my box.When I next started my linux box up only eth0 was present.`ifconfig -a` only displays eth0, but `lspci` lists both cards. How can i permanently map the new pci card to eth1?
Code:
scattaneo@unthread:~$ ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1a:a0:8c:61:49
inet addr:192.168.2.108 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: 2002:c0a8:6414:1234:21a:a0ff:fe8c:6149/64 Scope:Global

I've set up an email server as per this howto: [url]
In a nutshell, it uses a combinatio of postfix, dovecot, amavis (ClamAV and SpamAssisan) and mysql.
However, with this setup, authenticated users are able to spoof outgoing message by simple changing the "from" tag.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could implement some address mapping to users?
In this setup, postfix users are NOT system users, by are stored in the database.

As i undertsand - out of 1GB of the virtual Address space for Kernel from 3GB to 4GB of the process address space, Kernel image (code, data, bss, stack, heap) resides staring @0x0 address. Vmalloc area starts either at the end of Physical ram size or at 896M. This 896M cap is mandated to ensure that minimum of 128MB is reserved as vmalloc_reserve for vmalloc,kmap etc.
Is the understanding correct? Now trying to map Physical Zones into this 1GB address space
Initial 16MB is mapped to ZONE_DMA
16MB - 896MB is mapped to ZONE_NORMAL
896MB - 1024MB is mapped to ZONE_HIGHMEM
Does this mean that Kernel image is residing in ZONE_DMA area? Any call to vmalloc() in kernel code will return address beyond 896M? insmod of any LKM will internally invoke vmalloc() to obtain contiguous area - where will this code physically located along with rest of kernel code in ZONE_DMA or in ZONE_HIGHMEM?

This is not a linux specific question more of a general network issue with the hope that someone may have already done this under linux.My problem:I have a red hat linux machine transmitting IP multicast packets onto an ethernet gigabit network (cisco switch).Wireshark (running on a different red hat linux box confirms packets on network.

If I have set up 2 network interfaces on a box, if I started sending multicast traffic, it will go out through both interfaces? Or is there a way to control through which interface it will go out?

For the last couple of days, I've been unsuccesfully trying to receive multicast packets on Ubuntu Server 11.04, and seen some strange things along the way. The program i use to test this, is basically http://www.scribd.com/doc/38224328/mcreceive-c.Now the network has been configured to forward me the multicast packets, regardless of the joins. So tcpdump shows me:
Code:
15:16:11.308952 IP 10.164.130.2.61417 > 224.16.17.23.47806: UDP, length 1400

I've got an application that compiles in Windows and Linux and is using UDP multicast to communicate. I'm running it on a Windows machine, a Linux machine and a small board (Gumstix) that is running Linux as well. The Windows and Linux machines have no problems sending/receiving packets with each other. The Gumstix and Linux machines have no problems sending/receiving packets with each other. The Gumstix can also send/receive packets with two instances of the application both running on the Gumstix.
But when running on the Gumstix I can send udp multicast packets to Windows, but cannot receive them. (It works if I do point to point with a known IP port#, but not multicast.) I can run tcpdump on the Gumstix and see the packets, but they are not being received on my socket. Here's what tcpdump (running on the Gumstix) outputs when sending the same packet from different sources. Notice the IP header ID and flags (don't fragment) are different when coming from Windows.
WINDOWS to Gumstix
-7:-45:-2.015784 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 15, id 35331, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 444) 172.30.42.3.1165 > 239.255.183.180.47028: UDP, length 416
LINUX to GUMSTIX
-7:-43:-38.451991 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 15, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 444) 172.30.42.13.32771 > 239.255.183.180.47028: UDP, length 416
GUMSTIX to GUMSTIX
-7:-33:-10.955608 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 15, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 444) 172.30.42.110.1025 > 239.255.183.180.47028: UDP, length 416
I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work but am not getting anywhere. Also I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to Linux. Anything I could try to be able to receive udp multicast packets from Windows?

I have 4 interfaces, dvb0_0 - dvb0_3. Each one has a multicast stream coming in on it. The program I am using to decode these streams only accepts one interface though. How can I "combine" so that the program, listening on 1 ip can get all 4 streams? they are on groups 224.0.1.1-4

In the ipv4 code i was using "ip_mc_join_group()" to join the multicast group. but i cannot find a similar function for ipv6 i have found one ipv6_sock_mc_join() but this function is not available for use with my module as it is not exported.

We have a high speed udp multicast connection. There are about 37 multicast groups and average incoming rate via the connection is about 20000 pkt/sec and peak 40000+ pkt/sec. Each packet is about 100-300 bytes. And there are 6 busiest multicast groups generating 80% of the traffic. No significant outgoing traffic via that interface. The problem is that, if our heavy-weight application create 37 sockets for all the groups, the packet loss become quite frequent. but if we create the 6 sockets for the busiest groups, the packet loss drops to 1/10 of the original level. We can confirm that the lost packets DO arrive in our box because a light-weight recorder on another box on the same ethernet segment can see the lost packets when listening to the same groups. If we start another heavy-weight application for the rest groups (31 groups ) on the same box, the packet loss just come back to the original level.
The packet loss happens not only to the heavy-weight application but also the light-weight recorder running on the same system. that is, the loss is system wide. The socket kernel buffer are all 4MB max and did not observe system buffer overflow. It seems the number of sockets listening to the same multicast group have the most negative impact on packet loss. And the higher traffic have a far less impact on packet loss than the number of sockets. It also seems that there is some limit in the kernel that when socket number are reduced under, the packet loss can significantly ease. How can I further diagnose the problem? Our system is RHEL 5.3 32bit i386, Xeon 2.9GHZ 16 Processors, 32GB memory. Two broadcom giga netowrk card and 6 Intel GIGA NIC, and only one interface card has so much traffic.

I am trying to run some benchmark tests for multicast. What I want to do is have one system send multicast packets and another receive it on all it's interfaces (eth0-eth3). Whenever I run receiver on more than one interface I get echo effect (if I receive on x interfaces then I get same packet x number of times). Is this how it is supposed to behave? It does not make any difference whether I use loop-back or not. I have set SO_REUSEADDR to yes. I run separate instance of receiver on each interface. I am doing this on RHEL5 systems.

I'm trying to receive data that is being broadcast on address 224.0.1.1, 224.0.1.2, 224.0.1.3, 224.0.1.4. ports are 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204 respectively. I can see the data using wireshark but can not get my program to receive the data. all firewalls are shutdown. iptables is not running, i've set net.ipv4_icmp_ignore_broadcasts = 0 and still no luck.

How do you get correct ethernet/mac id of your local network card using python script? Most of the article suggests to parse the output of ipconfig /all on windows and ifconfig on linux. I am sure that this solution would work on windows but I am a linux starter and not sure the reliability of ifconfig on linux distros. Couple of other solutions on linux are:
Code:
def getHwAddr(ifname):
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
info = fcntl.ioctl(s.fileno(), 0x8927, struct.pack('256s', ifname[:15]))
return ''.join(['%02x:' % ord(char) for char in info[18:24]])[:-1]

I have just set up an FC 13 box for a small network application. At the core, the application is supposed to receive some data over a multicast on my local network. However, for some reason, I am not being able to receive any multicast data on this machine. Other machines, on the same network (connected on the same layer 2 switch) are receiving the multicast just fine. I have tried the following things:
1. ensure that I am joining the multicast on the correct interface: the machine has only one ethernet card. Also, after starting my application, I use netstat -g to check for group membership. The multicast subscription shows up fine.
2. ensure there is no error in the program: the program works fine on my person linux machine
3. ensure that the multicast is actually available: it is available on all other local machines. I also wrote my own small broadcaster. data from this broadcaster (running on the same box) is available to other machines but not to my own listener program.
4. no firewall/filtering settings on the layer2 switch
5. TTL setting on the broadcast: have tried changing it from 1 through 5 with no effect. Note that even if the broadcast is coming from the same machine, my machine does not pick it up while other machines on the network do so.
I suspect this has to do with some settings on the network card itself. Below is the output of /sbin/ifconfig on the card:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:67:BBA
inet addr:192.200.20.32 Bcast:192.200.20.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

What is the Linux command to clear IP address of an interface without bringing it down and/or restarting network services. Seems strange ifconfig is able to change IP address but has no option to clear it, or am I wrong?
EDIT:As simple as ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0. They should have put it in the man

I've just set up an LTSP server, with all its clients on a separate subnet to my main network - the main network is 192.168.1.x, and the LTSP clients are all 192.168.2.x. My LTSP server has 2 NICs, one on each network, and is merrily forwarding normal IP traffic from the clients to the rest of the network. I have a client/server application that has a server on one machine, and clients locate and attach to it using multicast protocols. The server is on the main network, and any other machines on the network can locate and talk to the server quite happily. The LTSP clients, however, cannot - I assume because the multicast communications aren't being forwarded by the LTSP server. How I can get this working?
