From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chris Friesen Subject: is it expected behaviour to receive one's own broadcast messages? Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 17:00:04 -0400 Sender: netdev-bounce@oss.sgi.com Message-ID: <3EEE2FD4.6060207@nortelnetworks.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@oss.sgi.com Errors-to: netdev-bounce@oss.sgi.com List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org 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.
