One computer (which we can call master) is equipped with two of these = cards and I set different modes to connect the "master" with the other = computers. In particular, a pair of computers (master-computer A) is connected in = ad-hoc mode and the other pair (master-computer B) is connected in = AP-STA mode. I want to send LLDP packets through both interfaces of master computer = to perform link discovery. But I have realised that sending LLDP = messages is only possible through the interface configured as AP. Nevertheless, I've seen that the ad-hoc = interface is able to send ARP broadcast messages. Due to this fact, when generating the LLDP packets I set as destination = MAC address the broadcast one, but even so, the ad-hoc interface is not = sending the LLDP messages. Does anyone have an idea of the reason of this behavior? Which is = treating differently the ARP and the LLDP packet? I was expecting the ad-hoc interface to forward any kind of packet with = mac destination address the broadcast address. Thank you very much in advance for your time and attention, With kind regards, -- = Jorge Baranda Research Engineer, MSc jorge.baranda@cttc.es Centre Tecnol=F2gic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) Av.
