From a9fe8e29945d56f35235a3a0fba99b4cf181d211 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 15:49:26 +0200 Subject: ipv4: implement igmp_qrv sysctl to tune igmp robustness variable As in IPv6 people might increase the igmp query robustness variable to make sure unsolicited state change reports aren't lost on the network. Add and document this new knob to igmp code. RFCs allow tuning this parameter back to first IGMP RFC, so we also use this setting for all counters, including source specific multicast. Also take over sysctl value when upping the interface and don't reuse the last one seen on the interface.
