HI, I am running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE. I was looking at the tcpdump output while multicast packets are flowing between two routers, tcpdump shows the source and destination address as "224.0.0.2". It should show the source address of the multicast packet rather than the multicast group address. I found that, when the receiver does the recvfrom(), the address returned shows the multicast group address. Is this a bug or feature? On linux this shows the source address. thanks --gb -- Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
