There's nothing in the API controlling this, and the reason is that the emulation itself deals with ethernet frames. It couldn't care less what they mean. Of course the actual behavior heavily depends on the networking mode (NAT definitely doesn't handle multicast in a sensible way), and bridged/host only/internal network should be able to handle them. Theoretically. Not aware of this getting tested :) Klaus _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
