[SOLVED] IGMP proxy not releasing streams after upgrading to 24.7

[jorisvervuurt]

Oh well, it's fixed now anyway. :P
Thanks again.

What I find odd is that the committer had 5 months to bring this to FreeBSD 14.1 after breaking it in FreeBSD 14.0 but it would rather have it remain broken in both versions. This is literally 10 seconds worth of work it would have needed to be fixed in FreeBSD 14.1. ;)

I sincerely hope I will be able to buy you and a certain other individual a beer or two in Dublin and have a chat about upstreaming/MFC policy without anyone pulling the knives out ...  8)

I just made a €50 donation to say thanks for picking this up so fast but also as a way to say thanks for OPNsense in general! Feel free to add me (Joris Vervuurt) to the list if you want to. 😄

Looking forward to the next update.

Thanks, highly appreciated. Most of the timing is related to how good the testers are so I have to say you were a great one. :)


Cheers,

Odd? Looing at the committer / maintainer, I'm kinda getting convinced these stunts are done on purpose for the firewall distro that's based on -CURRENT/-HEAD.

I chose "odd" to be friendly. But this isn't the first time -- not sure if you saw some of the other things. ;)

Unfortunately, yes... the concept of stable seems to get completely lost. Seems like someone wants "stable" well-known bugs.

Good work!

Last question though ... on both LAN- and WAN-side I see that while one stream is about 14Mbps, when I switch channels the consumed bandwidth on the WAN-side doubles for about 3 minutes (to about 28Mbps) , while on the LAN-side it takes about half a minute before everything is back to normal. Is that expected behaviour? Never looked at it in this detail before, so I hope you don't mind me asking  ::)

Best regards.

In my case, traffic is dropping back pretty much instant (well, maybe a second) on both interfaces. I think something else is causing this in your case, not sure what though. Have you tried connecting the STB directly to the router instead of behind (non-IGMP snooping enabled?) switches to see if that changes anything?

I've added these two commits for 24.7.1 (which are in 24.7_9 as tested):

So, just to conform the aforementioned sentence --> Has this fix been included in the standard (now released) 24.7_9 or will they only be released in 24.7.1 and are they only in the test kernel for now?

I am waiting with my upgrade for this fix as I am also a KPN fiber user in NLD... :)

24.7.1 kernel will have it, for now on 24.7_x use the test kernel.

24.7.1 kernel will have it, for now on 24.7_x use the test kernel.

Copy all, thanks. I'l just wait then. I can install a testkernel, but when stuff goes south I am too noob to dive in and fix on the commandline. :)

After another reboot I now see that everything works according to specs  ???.
Anyway ... thanks for pointing out what to expect. Made me go and question myself and my setup  ;).

Best regards.

Testing has been concluded and there's a known good kernel that fixes your issue, which you can install with

Code Select Expand

opnsense-update -zkr 24.7_10 && opnsense-shell reboot

Reverting to the non-patched kernel - should you consider it for some reason - is as easy as checking for updates again.

There aren't that many updates to be pushed yet, nothing critical requiring an immediate fix that I can see, hence the probable time frame you're looking at is mid next week for 24.7.1
