| Summary: An implementation of the DVMRP multicast routing protocol | |
Mrouted is an implementation of the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP), an earlier version of which is specified in RFC-1075. Mrouted turns a UNIX workstation into a DVMRP multicast router with tunnel support, in order to cross non-multicast-aware routers. The tunnels are virtual point-to-point, IP-IP tunnel, links between a pair of mrouted routers.

- Update to version 4.7
Fixes
* Validate the length fields when parsing DVMRP INFO_REQUEST. A
request claiming more data than the packet holds, and a full
size packet of well formed requests, both made the parser and
the reply it builds run past the buffers they work on.
* Fix route reports received on a blaster interface, which never
survived the replay. Queued reports were replayed with a
negated length in a size_t argument, wrapping it. Blaster
support has not worked since v3.9.1.
* Fix mroutectl reading one byte before the start of its line
buffer on a line that holds nothing but newlines.
* Fix mrouted exiting when an interface is deleted while another
one is down. The periodic interface check treats a failed
SIOCGIFFLAGS as fatal, and it only runs while some interface is
known to be down.
Changes
* Issue #39: allow the loopback interface to be used for routing.
It has to be multicast capable and carry a routable address,
Linux sets up neither on lo by default. The 127.0.0.0/8 address
is skipped, and a loopback VIF is always passive, no neighbor
can be reached over it.
* Issue #63: new mroutectl reload ifaces command. It rescans the
kernel interface list, brings interfaces that have appeared
since startup into service, and takes the ones that are gone
out of it, keeping the routes and prunes already learned.
Interfaces that did not change keep the VIF number they had.
mrouted.conf is not re-read, an interface that needs settings
from it still calls for a restart.
- Update to version 4.6
Fixes
* Issue #56: ensure group timers are stopped when stopping
interfaces.
* Issue #56: replace homegrown timer and socket handling with
pev v2.0. The existing timer implementation was too imprecise
and jittered several seconds between query intervals.
* Issue #64: fix compiler warnings when building with 64-bit
time_t targeting 32-bit platforms (only affects logging and
status output).
* Fix mroutectl show routes, locally connected routes never
expire.
* Skip timeout of subordinates at startup.
* Minor compiler warnings on non-Linux systems.
Changes
* Check interface status and update internal state on more error
codes instead of logging sendto() or sendmsg() failure.
* Revert change in TIMER_INTERVAL from v4.0, 4159022, update
interval is now 5 seconds instead of 2.
* Removed internal log rate limiter, demystifies behavior and
greatly simplifies the code.
* Log interface names with their assigned VIF number to ease
debugging.
* Speed up peering by sending route reports as soon as one-way
peering has been established.
* Updates to logging, clarifying source 0.0.0.0 of routes as
"us", and add logging when adding and discarding groups
to/from interfaces.
* Use (S, G) format for all logging.
* Silence bogus Failed MRT_DEL_MFC warnings for routes never
added to the MRIB due to missing reverse path.

- Update to version 4.5
Fixes
* Issue #56: ensure group timers are stopped when stopping
interfaces
* Issue #56: replace homegrown timer and socket handling with
pev v2.0.
* The existing timer implementation was too imprecise and
jittered several seconds between query intervals.
* Issue #64: fix compiler warnings when building with 64-bit
`time_t` targeting 32-bit platforms (only affects logging and
status output).
* Fix `mroutectl show routes`, locally connected routes never
expire.
* Skip timeout of subordinates at startup.
Changes
* Check interface status and update internal state on more
error codes instead of logging `sendto()` or `sendmsg()`
failure.
* Revert change in `TIMER_INTERVAL` from v4.0, update interval
is now 5 seconds instead of 2.
* Removed internal log rate limiter, demystifies behavior and
greatly simplifies the code.
* Log interface names with their assigned VIF number to ease
debugging.
* Speed up peering by sending route reports as soon as one-way

- Use %autosetup macro. Allows to eliminate the usage of deprecated
%patchN
* Sun Aug 27 2023 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 4.5
Fixes
* Ignore IGMP proxy querys (src ip: 0.0.0.0), they must never
win a querier election.
* Fix compat read location and new location for mrouted.genid
* Fix "non-decreasing" generation id, must increment on each
restart.
Changes
* Add support for configurable IGMP query response interval.
* Add support for configurable IGMP querier timeout.
* New join-group <group> phyint option for cases where an IGMP
snooping switch blocks flooding of multicast to the port where
mrouted is connected.
* On startup and reconf, log why we skip disabled interfaces.
* Change to always log when assuming the IGMP querier role.
* Thu Nov 04 2021 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 4.4
Changes
* Rename tunnel vifs, from base interface, to use the Linux
kernel naming; dvmrpN, where N is the VIF number. Other
kernels may handle this differently.
* Logging to stdout now always prefixes messages with the daemon
ident.
* If adding a tunnel VIF and Linux does not have ipip.ko loaded,
mrouted logs this as a warning message.
* Add test for IPIP tunnels.
* Refactored linked-list handling in unicast route engine
(internal).
* Drop experimental RSRR feature. It is very likely unused these
days, seeing as the draft memo never made it into widespread
use. It is also not working properly with multiple instances of
mrouted.
Fixes
* Issue #52: IP-IP tunnels don't work anymore. Somewhere in the
big refactor for the mrouted v4.x series, the tunnel directive
in the .conf parser was never adapted to the new internals.
* Fix a 10 year old regression after a linked-list refactor,
causing off-by-one (loss of one) in unicast route distribution
Which in turn cause VIF tunnels to malfunction.
* Wed Oct 06 2021 Johannes Segitz <jsegitz@suse.com>
- Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400). Added patch(es):
* harden_mrouted.service.patch
* Wed Sep 22 2021 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 4.3
Changes
* Add support for `-i,--ident=NAME` to change identity of an
instance.
* Add support for `-p,--pidfile=FILE` to override default PID
file.
* Touch PID file at SIGHUP to acknowledge done reloading .conf
file.
* Add support for `-t,--table-id=ID`, multicast routing tables.
* Add support for `-u,--ipc=FILE` to override
`/var/run/mrouted.sock` file, used for communication with
`mroutectl`.
Fixes
* Fix segfault when parsing `phyint` lines in .conf file
interface cannot be found, e.g.,
`phyint eth1 static-group 225.1.2.5`.
* Prevent cascading warnings when phyint interface names cannot
be found.
* Thu Jan 07 2021 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 4.2
Major bug fix and feature release. Support for static routes and
improved configuration support for IGMP.
Changes
* Support for controlling IGMP Last Member Query Count using
the igmp-robustness setting in mrouted.conf, default 2.
* Support for tuning the IGMP Last Member Query Interval using
a new setting igmp-query-last-member-interval <1-1024>.
* Support for static multicast routing (*,G), similar to SMCRoute
* New phyint static-group GROUP setting in mrouted.conf
* multiplestatements supported, but no ranges (yet).
* Proper tracking of lower-version host members (IGMP), when a
lower version host is detected for a group, a timer is set
according to RFC3376, and while in this compat mode
higher-version IGMP is not allowed to change state. E.g., in
IGMPv1 compat, IGMPv2 LEAVE is * ignored for the group,
similar to the phyint being in igmpv1 mode.
* Allow IGMP reports from source address 0.0.0.0, required as
per RFC3376, sec. 4.2.13, not supported until now. This
should greatly improve interop with IGMP snooping switches and
DHCP clients that have not yet received a lease
* Improved support for running mroutectl under watch(1). No more
artifacts due to unknown ANSI escape sequences to probe width
* Delayed PID file creation until after initial startup delay,
there is nobody home until after that delay, so no point in
announcing availability until after that
Fixes
* IGMPv3 membership reports were parsed incorrectly.
The problem affects users that use source specific multicast
join, i.e., (S,G) join/leave using IGMPv3. Support for
IGMPv3 was introduced in mrouted v4.0
* Malformed group-specific IGMP query. The IGMP header no longer
had the group field set, despite the query being addressed to
a specific group. Regression introduced in v4.0
* The optional phyint flag igmpv3 did not work.
* Fix buffer overrun in descriptor poll() handling
* Fix double-close on SIGHUP, Linux systems only
* Various non-critical memory leak fixes, critical for no-MMU
systems
* Fri Oct 02 2020 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 4.1
Changes
* Automatically detect and add `altnet` to interfaces with
multiple addresses, possible thanks to work on.
* Reduce number of exposed aliases to debug sub-systems in
online help text and man page. Only primary name, as of
mrouted v3.9-beta3.
* Removed noisy `timer` sub-system from `-d all`, use
`-d all, timer`.
Fixes
* Fix update of `mrouted.genid` on SIGHUP and reboot. mrouted
replaced contents with the value zero (0), causing a zero
genid in DVMRP as well, which likely caused peering issues
with some implementations
* Workaround for older autoconf without `--runstatedir` support
* Fix double free in `pidfile()`
* Cannot disable multicast routing in kernel: Permission denied
when starting up.
* Refactor interface probing and bringup. Fixes issue with the
`no phyint` config option not working, introduced in v4.0.
* Fix bad path for mrouted.genid, should be in `/var/lib/misc`
on Linux and `/var/db` on *BSD.
* Document and improve error message when running out of IGMP
groups on Linux.
* Detect and warn if multicast ingresses an unknown vif
