In ipv4 a call to the setsockopt() function with the optname set to IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and a raw ip socket adds the socket to the multicast group specified by the user. As a result the tcpip stack code does the following: ... ip_setsockopt(_,_,IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP,_,_) calls ip_mc_join_group(sock,_) function, which adds a multicast entry to the sock->protinfo.af_inet.mc_list and then adds a multicast entry to the bound device (if any) with a call to the ip_mc_inc_group() function. When remote multicast packets that belong to the multicast group we just joined are received, the routing code recognizes the packets as multicast packet going to a local receiver, but the __raw_v4_lookup() function only examines the main sock address (sock->rcv_saddr) and totally forgets that this raw sock can a member of multiple multicast groups.
