Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 809 Lines: 23 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.
