Thread-topic: netfront and promiscuous/multicast packets
Am I right in saying that there is no way for netfront to convey to
netback its desire to switch to promiscuous mode? Not that that is
really a bit deal in a switched environment.
What about multicast? How is that handled? Are multicast packets just
treated like broadcasts and sent to all interfaces?
The Windows NDIS api asks for various packet filters (DIRECTED,
MULTICAST, BROADCAST, PROMISCUOUS, ALL_MULTICAST, etc) and I'm not quite
sure what the gplpv drivers should be telling it...
Thanks
James
