    Hi Vijay,
    
    There are definitely some current issues with multicast filtering and
    IPv6 when behind NC-SI at the moment. It would be nice to make this
    configurable instead of disabling the component wholesale but I don't
    believe this actually *breaks* anyone's configuration. It would be nice
    to see some Tested-By's from the OpenBMC people though.
    
    I'll have a look at the multicast issues, CC'ing in Chris too who IIRC
    was looking at similar issues for u-bmc in case he got further.

Sam,
The current multicast issues for IPV6 are vendor's issues. And if some is 
not supporting IPV6 forwarding to management controller bit fields in 
EGMF then we are filtering it and by disabling filtering it works for Mellanox
And Broadcom cards. I have tested it. That's why I have disabled it to start with
And it can be enabled from netlink utility if required.
