[Xorp-hackers] Multicast routing

[Suresh kannan]

Hi Sachin,

Opening RAW socket for IPPROTO_IGMP, will get all IGMP packets regardless of
its destination address from kernel to XORP.

Can i know, where it says it will only get 224.0.0.1 packets. I'm not aware
such a filtering in RAW socket.

Thanks,
Regards,
Suresh kannan.
