IGMPv3 (SSM)

[k0ns0l3]

Multicast support gets more important as people are switching to IPTV.

For FreeBSD and OPNsense there seems to be support available for IGMPv2 and only limited support for IGMPv3 (igmpproxy).

what do the plans for the future look like?

Any Update?

Kind regards

Would it be possible to solve this problem with a capable igmp v3 switch?

As I read in the community, I'm not the only one with this problem.

I'm pretty disappointed right now, hope for a speedy fix of the problem.

Hi there,

I'm also disappointed... merely because there's no contributor here who has both the knowledge and the time to do it. If that is our standard of disappointment and disdain we are truly doomed as the world keeps on turning to mock us ever so subtly.


Cheers,

i think i have a theme that is getting more and more opnsens
Users who are in the Telekom IPTV customer can deal, so here's my mail.

Deutsche Telekom is forcing IPTV customers to change their tariffs, including the speed of vectoring, to the new IPTV platform. This new platform is not compatible with the current igmpproxy because according to my understanding, ICMP V3 is mandatory and the technical connection is different.

Are there any plans to adapt the Igmpproxy to Telekom's new IPTV platform in the near future?
I have also seen in the forum, the individual compiled the mcproxy for the opnsens and have included. Is it planned to include the mcproxy in the package management?

There are no plans because nobody stepped up to do it. I don't have the setup, which made supporting igmpproxy all the more harder over the years. And, personally, I do not wish to repeat that experience with mcproxy.

All help is welcome, starting with mcproxy build testing on FreeBSD... making a port... adding a binary package to OPNsense... building a new plugin and eventually superseding igmpproxy.


Cheers,

Igmpproxy Software is not developed by OPNsense, so there is no chance to make this happen. It would be better to check what exactly is needed or missing. And a test bed to debug would also be fine since not every developer has a Telekom connection

Thank you all for your answers

I am happy with Opnsense as it is
I am having IPTV from Telekom. The IGMP Proxy in Opnsense works well for me.
Even with SSM

Sorry if this Q is stupid, but is there a guide/howto available?
If not, can you contribute some text with screenshots?

Hi,

can make screenshots on Wednesday, but basically there was not much to do to make it work
First of all, I am using a DSL Modem in front of my Opnsense Box.
My Opnsense box is doing the PPPoE dial-in to Telekom. In your Firewall rules, which allows the traffic, you need to click on "Advanced Options" and check "Allow IP Options". Besides that in the IGMP Proxy you put the correct subnets on the downstream and upstream interface and that's it. Not more not less.

The old IPTV from Telekom is named "Entertain TV" - this works with IGMP v2 - the new one called "Magenta TV" only works with IGMP v3

that online works for IGMP v2 not for v3. At the moment the IGMP Proxy is not able to work with v3. There is also a post in the German Subforum at: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=12346.0

with Version 0.2 (https://github.com/pali/igmpproxy/releases/tag/0.2 // Added experimental support for igmpv3 clients.) it seems possible to Route igmpv3 packets. Perhaps there is only a switch to set to get igmpv3 working? With Version 18.1.5 there was igmpproxy 0.2.1 ported into OPNSense.

Yep, I know. I do have Magenta TV.  Am using both. The Telekom MIR401 as well as TVHeadend with Kodi.
All works well. Am using it for more then a year now.

Chiming in here now. Let’s dig deeper here because I am one of those who is desperately trying to get this working.
I also have a modem (vigor) in front of OPNsense. PPPoE is done by OPNsense.
I tried both, setting the VLAN7 on Modem side as well as on the OPNsense side, it makes no difference.
For testing purposes, I have configured a dedicated interface for the Telekom Receiver.
Firewall allows all traffic to and from that interface for now, incl IP options.
Igmpproxy is configured for explicitly that interface.

I am happy to do whatever debug is necessary. I am open to test whatever someone develops.
I just can’t offer to write to code myself.

Does someone know if the pfsense guys got that working? If yes, we might check out how they do it.

Oh forgot to say:
I have connected the MR directly to that dedicated interface to avoid the IGMP switch discussion.
