[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCHv2 netifd 1/3] bridge: Fix multicast_to_unicast feature by hairpin+isolate

Linus Lüssing linus.luessing at c0d3.blue

All IGMP and MLD versions suffer from a specific limitation (from a
snooping switch perspective): Report suppression.

Once a listener hears an IGMPv2/3 or MLDv1 report for the same group
itself participates in then it might (if this listener is an IGMPv3 or
MLDv2 listener) or will (if this is an IGMPv1/2 or MLDv1 listener)
refrain from sending its own report.

Therefore we might currently miss such surpressing listeners as they
won't receive the multicast packet with the mangled, unicasted
destination.

Fixing this by first isolating the STAs and giving the bridge more
control over traffic forwarding. E.g. refraining to forward listener
reports to other STAs.

For broadcast and unicast traffic to an STA on the same AP, the hairpin
feature of the bridge will reflect such traffic back to the AP
interface. However, if the AP interface is actually configured to
isolate STAs, then hairpin is kept disabled.
