How to reproduce:
====================
Run the following script under Suse Linux 7.1
(probably, you need to change JCK and JAVA_HOME paths):

#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=/net/jdk/export/disk8/local.java/jdk1.4/linux-i386
JCK=/net/jdk/export/disk8/local.java/jck1.3a/JCK-runtime-13a
export CLASSPATH="$JCK/classes:$JCK/javatest.jar"
executeClass="javasoft.sqe.tests.api.java.net.MulticastSocket.setTTLTests"
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Xfuture ${executeClass}
---------Script END----------------------

Test output:
=============
MulticastSocket2009: Failed. Can not get current interface:java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument
MulticastSocket1017: Failed. Can not get current interface:java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument
MulticastSocket1018: Failed. Can not create MulticastTEstServer :java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument

EVALUATION The problem is not specific to SuSE 7.1. Instead it will happen on any distribution using the 2.2 kernel once IPv6 is enabled. The problem stems from a kernel bug whereby it doesn't allow some IPv6 socket options be queried. Specifically support is missing which prevents querying the IPV6_MULTICAST_IF, IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS, and IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP socket options. These are required by the MulticastSocket getInterface, getTimeToLive, and getLoopback methods. As this is a potential show-stopper to supporting IPv6 on the Linux 2.2 kernel we need to investigate a kernel patch. Note that the tests will pass if an IPv4 socket is used (-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true). alan.bateman@ireland 2001-08-07 On further investigation we have at 3 issues :- 1. With the 2.2 kernel it't not possible to query a number of IPv6 socket options. This is a kernel bug that is easy to patch. However we can also workaround the issue by caching the relevant socket options in the java.net code. This avoids the need for a kernel patch. In general however we need to recommend to developers using IPv6 that they should upgrade to the 2.4 kernel. 2. The default hops limit for multicast packets when IPv6 is enabled is -1 and not the expected 1. This is based on the assumption that the ttl will be specified by the scope field in the multicast address. This is causing the getTTL test to fail. We need to change the MulticastSocket constructor to set the initial ttl/hops to 1. 3. Linux's IPV6_{ADD,DROP}_MEMBERSHIP socket options don't detect IPv4-mapped addresses. This is kernel bug that exists even in the latest 2.4.7 release. If we attempt to join a IPv4 multicast group with an IPv6 socket the join should be redirected to the IGMP module. I've patched my kernel to do this and it would be nice to get this rolled into an offical Linux release. However there is a workaround whereby the corresponding IPv4 socket options can be used with an IPv6 socket. I have now fixed the above 3 issues and the relevant JCK tests pass in the following configurations :- RedHat 6.1 IPv4 only RedHat 6.1 IPv6 enabled RedHat 6.2 IPv4 only RedHat 6.2 IPv6 enabled RedHat 7.1 IPv4 only RedHat 7.2 IPv6 enabled However there is one final issue to diagnose - the submitter has observed failures on SuSE 7.0 when run with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true (b74). This configuration needs to be tested with our latest networking build to see if the failures still exist. alan.bateman@ireland 2001-08-10 The remaining failures when only IPv4 is used on SuSE 7.0 is now understood. There was one final case when the data structure returned from IP_MULTICAST_IF is different that we expected. With this fixed resolved there are 2 remaining failures reported ("Network is unreachable"). These stems from the lack of a default route for multicast packets and are fixed by adding the route. The reason that the other multicast tests don't fail without an explicit route is because they set MulticastSocket.setInterface to establish the interface for outgoing multicasts. ###@###.### 2001-08-14
