Add Weave Net FAQ item about multicasting and kubernetes
From @abuehrle
We should add a section to the Weave Net docs (possibly a FAQ item or even a whole topic) about multicasting and Weave Net:
cluster to cluster multicasting limitations pod to pod what's supported and what's not and caveats ideal situation for multicast-maybe encourage PRs from the community to update it
from @bboreham:
Our multicast support is a behaviour that falls out of faithfully emulating a layer 2 switch. Within the Weave network it just works; you’d have to make special efforts to stop it. However what some people want is to route multicast traffic in and out of the cluster. We don’t have any special support for that; it would need some external bridging technology.
Hello,
However what some people want is to route multicast traffic in and out of the cluster. We don’t have any special support for that; it would need some external bridging technology.
That's exactly what most people are looking for (me included). Any ideas/suggestions on how to achieve it with Weave Net? An example would be helpful and constructive. Thanks.
