| 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...
