It would be really great to have to forecast plugin included in
libcharon-extra-plugins :)
The forecast plugin allows, when specified/permitted by the traffic
selectors, to forward broadcast and multicast packets between clients
and subnets.
Multicast packets are widely used by "network discovery" protocols such
as Zeronconf/Bonjour and SSDP. The forecast plugin permits to replay
such packets in IPsec tunnels which allows services discovery (printers,
DLNA, ...) across clients/subnets.
Building the forecast plugin requires iptables development headers and
the --enable-forecast flag to the ./configure options.
Enabling the forecast plugin requires CAP_NET_RAW and the farp plugin
(which is already available in the libcharon-extra-plugins package).
The forecast plugin is described here:
