[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-cluster] sysctl: disable net.ipv4.igmp_link_local_mcast_reports

[Alexandre Derumier]

currently, when veth or tap interfaces are plugged to bridge,
an igmp v3 report is broadcasted to the network, with the
bridge mac adddress.

Users have reported problems with hetzner for example, blocking the server
because of the unknown mac flooding the network.

some traces:
