Then what does "MULTICAST" mean? That "subscribed" hosts will receive messages sent to that one address. (or some other group address)
Yep, and that includes the all hosts multicast address. Multicast addresses can be used for a variety of things. In addition to that all hosts, there's also 244.0.0.2 for all routers .5 & .6 for OSPF routers and many more. My firewall/router is a Linux box. After allowing it to respond to broadcasts, it now responds to the all hosts address, but not the all routers. So, it appears things are not done fully according to spec. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
