Kernel Configuration

Descriptions how to configure and compile a Linux-Kernel:

• ​Official Guide (Ubuntu Wiki)
• Kernel Compilation Walkthrough

IPv6 functionality

To use the IPv6 functionality of the mcproxy, the Linux-Kernel has to support IPv6 Multicast Routing. This is an experimental Kernel feature and must be activated explicitly. Hence, your have to configure and compile your own Linux-Kernel variante.

You have to select the following module at the configuration setup:

  Networking support --->  
    Networking options ---> 
      The IPv6 protocol ---> 
        IPv6: multicast routing (EXPERIMENTAL)

Multiple Routing Table

To use more then one proxy instance for IPv4 and IPv6 the kernel has to be configured and compiled with an additional kernel feature.

You have to select the following module on the configuration setup:

IPv4:

  Networking support --->  
    Networking options ---> 
      IP: multicast policy routing

IPv6:

  Networking support --->  
    Networking options ---> 
      The IPv6 protocol ---> 
        IPv6: multicast policy routing
