Problems with multicast between two VEs

Hello,

I need to setup multicast between two VEs on different HN. I read some docs that mention that i should use bridge for this.

So, after configuring it, i can only use multicast from a HN to a VE. But i can't use from a VE to HN or from a VE to other VE.

Any ideas of what i can do?

My current configuration:

HN1 - ifconfig:

HN1 - VN1 route -n:

Code: 
# route -n

For HN2 and VE2, the configuration is the same, just with different IPs and mac address.

My tests:

Run on VE1

Code: 
ssmpingd

Run on VE2

Code: 
# ssmping 192.168.100.101
Failed to join multicast channel: Invalid argument
errno=22

I appreciate any kind of help for this :)

Thanks!
 
Any feedback from support team? I would like to use Multicast in venet.. Is this possible?
