Hello!

Yes, multicasts are looped back after forwarding for delivery
to local listeners on other interfaces.


Paul, I have suggested you to install some mrouting software at your
workplace. It is serious suggestion. You never see multicasts on your
network and this is main source of wrong assumptions. Please, remember
that real users of mrouting will join looong after releasing 2.4, it
may be too late to fix netfilter.
