Hello,
I have a simple question.
In net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c:inet_addr_type(),
if (ZERONET(addr) || BADCLASS(addr))
return RTN_BROADCAST;
if (MULTICAST(addr))
return RTN_MULTICAST;
the kernel treats ZERONET(0.0.0.0/8) and BADCLASS(240.0.0.0/4) as
boradcast address.
I think these address classes are invalid address classes
Then is it correct to treat them as broadcast address ?
Sorry if I am missing someting...
