Re: Installing gse-encap-plugin for Multicast?

 

Hi,

Regarding IPV4 multicast routing, we have tested the platform with smcroute (http://www.cschill.de/smcroute/) which is not an OpenSAND tool.

Attached to this mail, small scripts that gives an example of smcroute configuration.
   This configuration set:
- The ST1 as a multicast router and listener for the multicast group 239.1.1.1 - The GW as a multicast router and listener for the multicast group 239.1.1.1
- The ST3 as a multicast listener for the multicast group 239.1.1.1

On this files you have to check if interface names and subnetwork addresses match your platform.

Trick: regarding the multicast ping, don't forget to use the -t option to modify the ttl which is set to 1 by default for multicast addresses.

BR,
Fabrice.

Hi Juss,

I have trivial question considering send multicast. I expect I' ll need install gse-encap plugin to working with Multicast.
You don't need to install GSE for multicast, this should work with ATM and MPEG encapsulations.
Fabrice should sent you some advices for multicast soon.

I have tested Multicast by Iperf-tool without success. Anyway ping works normally. I can't install that plugin trough installation manual I got error:

/checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no
checking for X... no
checking for $CXX... no
checking for -c... no
checking for $CXXFLAGS... no
checking for $CPPFLAGS... no
checking for conftest.$ac_ext... no
checking for >&5... no
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for OPENSAND_GSE... no
checking for OPENSAND_GSE... configure: error: Package requirements (gse = 2.0.0) were not met:

No package 'gse' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OPENSAND_GSE_CFLAGS
and OPENSAND_GSE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I have tried many tricks to set environment variables without success.


I think you did not installed the GSE package.
To avoid the compilation phase, you can install libopensand-gse-encap-plugin on daemons and libopensand-gse-encap-plugin-manager on manager. It is available on our repository and on launchpad. If you use the package downloaded on launchpad or if you still want to compile the plugin, install the libgse package before. It is available on the libgse launchpad page.

Regards,
