If multicast snooping is enabled, multicast packets may not always end up on the local bridge interface, if the host is not a member of the multicast group. Similar to how IFF_PROMISC allows all packets to be received locally, let IFF_ALLMULTI allow all multicast packets to be received. OpenWrt uses a user space daemon for DHCPv6/RA/NDP handling, and in relay mode it sets the ALLMULTI flag in order to receive all relevant queries on the network. This works for normal network interfaces and non-snooping bridges, but not snooping bridges (unless multicast routing is enabled).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
