A few issues with the bridge snooping were identified and fixed upstream in OpenWRT: * "firewall: Allow IGMP and MLD input on WAN" (r45613) * "kernel: bridge: backport two snooping related patches" (r45783) * netifd: "bridge: Fix multicast_to_unicast feature by hairpin+isolate" (OW: "netifd: update to the latest version, adds multicast-to-unicast fixes" (r46719)) * "kernel: bridge, multicast-to-unicast: assign src after pskb_may_pull()" (r46721) * "kernel: bridge, multicast-to-unicast: fix echoes on STA" (46765) These have very likely caused issues with the bridge snooping before, which led to disabling it in the past. Let's reenable the multicast snooping now that they were fixed for reduced multicast overhead on the wifi. Advantages are the following: This mildly reduces overhead on the mesh layer. And significantly reduces overhead on the AP interface and therefore significantly increases available airtime (the currently most significant scalability bottleneck). Secondly removes an easy, often accidental node-local Denial-of-Service vector based on multicast flooding / streaming. Thirdly, makes node-local multicast streaming feasible. Finally should noticably increase battery life of mobile devices. Note: bridge querier is disabled for br-wan. We want to avoid becoming too "bossy"/"noisy" on a foreign network.

Issues & Feature requests
Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.
We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.
Use a release!
Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes!
Use the most recent release instead. You can list all relaseses by running git branch -a
and switch to one by running git checkout v2016.1.5 && make update.
If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes will break eventually.
