Hi,
1)
netsh>routing ip igmp
install
add interface "interface name of IPoIB adapter" igmpprototype=igmprtrv2
exit
On 2008 you may need to enable "Routing and Remote Access" from Server
Manager=>Network Policy and Access=> Add Roles.
Before using netsh.
2) We saw interoperability with Linux hosts as well.

1) How do you force your servers to use IGMP v2?
2) Will your method interop with Linux as well? I'm looking in the spec
to find a much between ipv4 multicast addresses and IB multicast GID but
with no success.
In any case, even if there is no enforcement in the spec, I'm afraid
that if they are using different mgids than things won't work.
Thanks
Tzachi

Hi,
The attached test was compiled and run on server 2003 x64 and
server 2008 x86.
I used IPoIB without your patch, as is.
I got at the end
Pass percentage: 100.000000 on both sides, which mean no problem
(Am I right?).
We changed
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[12] = mac.addr[1];
instead of
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[12] = 0;
to avoid different IP to be mapped onto same mac.
Using igmpv3 is not recommended since IB join is always made on
224.0.0.22, but not to actual mcast group (e.g. 239.0.0.2).
In our tests we force the servers to use igmp v2.
Please check same test with igmp v2 on both sides.
Slava

Resending without the executables attached (due to antivirus

Any one who wants the executables please call me directly.
Thanks

Hi Voltaire and anyone who can help !
On the last day we have been working on a problem of a simple
multicast test that doesn't work.
Test is attached at the end of the mail.
This test has used to work in the past but not any more.
Looking at the current state of things, it seems that changes
that were done on chekin 1450
are the root of the problem.
It seems that the mechanism that maps Mac addresses and ip
addresses into IB multicast was broken.
This was done when ipoib_port_join_mcast has changed from:
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[12] = 0;//mac.addr[1];
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[13] = mac.addr[3];
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[14] = mac.addr[4];
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[15] = mac.addr[5];
to
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[12] = mac.addr[1];
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[13] = mac.addr[3];
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[14] = mac.addr[4];
mcast_req.member_rec.mgid.raw[15] = mac.addr[5];
It seems that now mac_addr[1] is not always 0 as it used to be.
Instead this data is being taken from the ip addresses.
More than that, it seems that on the function
ipoib_refresh_mcast the lines
if ( ( p_mac_array[i].addr[0] == 1 && p_mac_array[i].addr[1]
== 0 && p_mac_array[i].addr[2] == 0x5e &&
p_mac_array[i].addr[3] == 0 && p_mac_array[i].addr[4] ==
0 && p_mac_array[i].addr[5] == 1 ) ||
!( p_mac_array[i].addr[0] == 1 && p_mac_array[i].addr[1]
== 0 && p_mac_array[i].addr[2] == 0x5e )
that were added actually means that for normal multicast
addresses (starting with 01-00-5e) no multicast group will be created.
The attached patch, fixes my specific test, but might cause
problems to other scenarios. It is not a fix, but rather trying to show
the problem more clearly.
A few more interesting points:
1) IP multicast addresses are wider than Mac addresses. We need
to decide what encoding we want to use. see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/intw
ork/inaf_mul_wrfn.mspx?mfr=true for example.
Please note that it might be that some ip multicast address will
have to share the same Mac addresses.
2) On the same machine when running on Broadcom cards IGMP v2 is
used. On ipoib cards IGMP v3 is used
To run the test:
reciver: mcastrcv.exe 11.4.12.85 19007 239.0.0.2 25 406 99
sender: mcastsnd.exe 11.4.12.86 19007 239.0.0.2 25 406 100
Please replace the ip 11.4.12.85/6 with the local IPOIB
addreses.
