Re: [LARTC] routing broadcast messages

[Poltorak Serguei <poltorak@df.ru>]

Hello

but packets  are going To their subnetwork. then m.n.o.w sends packet to
a.b.c.255 gateways other than a.b.c.1 doesn't know that a.b.c.255 is a
broadcast. it's only a.b.c.1 (m.n.o.p) who discards the packet

may be I should redraw my pic.
  a.b.c.0/24,brd+ -----[ a.b.c.1, m.n.o.p ]-----m.n.o.w
               <-------pings are going in that direction

So, packets are going TO their subnet.

Any idea???

thanks,
PoltoS/
