I was wanting to test the IGMP/PIM features of vEOS, and I wasn't able to get both the Tinycore clients, and Debian Jessie server to use multicast to send a VLC stream via a multicast stream. Is there something specific I need to do to get the tinycore clients configured to accomodate IGMP, or is there a .tcz extension that would let me simulate this? I configured the vEOS switches correctly, but I never saw join/prune requests on the RP, nor would the client machines pull down the video I wanted to multicast.
Here's an example of the setup -> VLC-server

FHR
/ \
RP L3 Router

LHR

L2
TC-host 1 TC-host 2
I also tied directly connecting the hosts to LHR, but nada. Neither of the hosts could every see the video stream from the VLC server, and I never saw join, prune, registration, nor could the clients ping the multicast group address. I also tried IGMP host-proxy, but that was a no go.
