Subject: is it expected behaviour to receive one's own broadcast messages?


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
