Yes I know they should respond. My question is why only the one
device responds to the mulitcast, local broadcast or broadcast addresses. In IPv4, 224.0.0.1 is an address all devices should respond to. Why are they not?
Because their interfaces are not set up with that multicast address.
All devices are supposed to listen to that address. It's the all hosts multicast IPv4 address. It's not something you configure. Likewise they should respond to the broadcast (255.255.255.255) and local broadcast (network address plus all ones in the host portion) addresses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
