Subject: is it expected behaviour to receive one's own broadcast messages?
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 17:00:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3EEE2FD4.6060207@nortelnetworks.com> (raw)


I have an app that is sending out broadcast messages to the local network using 
255.255.255.255.  It is registered for INADDR_ANY.  The thing that seems strange 
is that it receives a copy of every packet that it sends out.  Is this expected?

The kernel is 2.4.18.

Thanks,

Chris
