Hello! > IPv6 behaves the same way.
Actually, Linux IPv6 filters received multicasts, inet6_mc_check() does this. IPv4 does not. I remember that attempts to do this were made in the past and failed, because some applications, related to multicast routing, did expect to receive all the multicasts even though they did not join any multicast addresses. So, it was left intact.
