David Stevens wrote: Routing is something done between different hosts. Hosts normally will accept packets for any local address, regardless of which interface it was received on. That's not a bug; that's how almost everything works. I think the only issue here is if an application that binds to an interface should see packets coming in from another - if that is what is happening here?. thanks, Nivedita |
