Doc Text:
Cause: We had the wrong CIDR for multicast addreses Consequence: Addresses that were in the mis-claimed portion were treated incorrectly as multicast and would not work. Fix: This fixes the range to be the IETF assigned one (per RFC 5771). Result: Addresses that were in the wrong portion of the range now work

Description Weibin Liang 2017-02-07 16:09:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
IPv4 multicast addresses are defined by the leading address bits of 1110, originating from the classful network design of the early Internet when this group of addresses was designated as Class D. The Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) prefix of this group is 224.0.0.0/4. The group includes the addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Address assignments from within this range are specified in RFC 5771, an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Best Current Practice document (BCP 51).

Right now we use 224.0.0.0/3 in ovs rules.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oc v3.5.0.16+a26133a
kubernetes v1.5.2+43a9be4
openshift v3.5.0.16+a26133a
kubernetes v1.5.2+43a9be4

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. oc project default
2. oc annotate netnamespace default netnamespace.network.openshift.io/multicast-enabled=true
3. oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weliang1/Openshift_Networking/master/OSE3.3/multicast.json
4. Log into one node.

Actual results:
224.0.0/3


Expected results:
224.0.0.0/4

Fixed the multicast CIDR (was 224.0.0.0/3 not /4)

We had the wrong CIDR for multicast addreses.  This fixes the range to
be the IETF assigned one (per RFC 5771).

Fixes bug 1420032 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1420032)
