Right. I've been following this thread passively, but my feeling is that there is nothing good that can possibly come of fixing this "bug". First, I don't view this as a bug, but a really poorly designed feature. Second, the impact of accidentally running into this poorly designed feature is minimal, while fixing it is highly risky. Do we know what other kinds of datalinks masquerade as DL_ETHER but depend the setting of the destination IP address to set IFF_POINTOPOINT? I certainly don't, and I don't see the value of discovering them through deliberate breakage. -Seb _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
