Bug Description
I work in the OpenStack Neutron project and recently I wanted to optimize our CI scenario jobs by using Ubuntu minimal image as guest image for some tests (see patch https:/
Unfortunately it seems that there is problem with one multicast scenario test while using ubuntu-minimal image (https:/
All works fine when image https:/
The problem is that in the minimal image kernel linux-image-kvm (vs. linux-image-generic in the "regular" cloud image) and that "-kvm" image has disabled MULTICAST:
# CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set
Would it be maybe possible to enable this option in the kernel used in the "minimal" cloud images?

Thanks for opening this. We'll take this to the kernel team as well.
For completeness, do you want us to investigate this on all currently support KVM kernels and images?
