Strange. Maybe the WiFi router or access point blocks IPv6 multicast groups?
WiFi access points are effectively an Ethernet bridge and like a bridge/switch are supposed to pass all valid Ethernet frames, regardless of content. Routers don't pass multicasts, unless specifically enabled. There are methods for a device to request a router pass a specific multicast address. The router in turn will do the same to the next upstream router, etc.. However, some multicasts such as mDNS are for the local link only and not passed through any router. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
