[linux-dvb] Re: MPE MAC broadcast
I have received no answer yet.
Ideas anyone? please...
Well, either I don't understand, or I wasn't clear with this.
I transmit IP data with a MPE MAC broadcast enveloppe over satellite.
I cannot receive my IP data on my DVB-S card unless its MAC is
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF or I put it on promisc mode. I mean "any data", not even
those having destination IP = my card's unicast IP.
I am a satellite service provider. Suppose I have a park of a thousand
receiving sites (which I do have).
My gateway encapsulates my IP data into a MPE MAC broadcast enveloppe
(much easier than having all my sites configured to the same MAC).
Maybe ETSI EN 301 192 does not say anything about having to open a filter
for receiving MPE MAC broadcast, but I am pretty sure IETF IPDVB WG does.
In any case, I shouldn't have to be promisc to receive IP data addressed
to me.
Please correct me if I am wrong. Maybe I am missing smth or maybe ETSI
specs are.
Thanks
Evan
