Hi Vijay,

There are definitely some current issues with multicast filtering and
IPv6 when behind NC-SI at the moment. It would be nice to make this
configurable instead of disabling the component wholesale but I don't
believe this actually *breaks* anyone's configuration. It would be nice
to see some Tested-By's from the OpenBMC people though.

I'll have a look at the multicast issues, CC'ing in Chris too who IIRC
was looking at similar issues for u-bmc in case he got further.

Sam,
The current multicast issues for IPV6 are vendor's issues. And if some is
not supporting IPV6 forwarding to management controller bit fields in
EGMF then we are filtering it and by disabling filtering it works for Mellanox
And Broadcom cards. I have tested it. That's why I have disabled it to start with
And it can be enabled from netlink utility if required.
