Hardware Broadcast II
I have nearly the same question.
My question is how an agent like arp can use Mac broadcasting?
I know Classifier/mac implements a broadcasting mechanism in copying
packet.
AttachLL (in addnode) is called with sender node and receiver node as
parameters, i.e. LL component use unicast address
only. . Morever the link_ member used for routing
haven't any information concerning a broadcasting address. I don't
understand how a packet to broadcast is sent from an agent to Mac
component and If I change $ll set macDA (in attachLL) to a BCAST_ADDR, I
am not sure if all the arp agent will receive a arp request (broadcasted
packet)
Thank you for some light on this point
