I can't think of any problems that could arise from doing so. One thing that might happen, if you don't use a IPv6-enabled pfinet, is that your Mach kernel receives such a packet and the pfinet would have to discard it. Since in a IPv4-only network multicast packets aren't common, it shouldn't be problematic there. Furthermore mind, that GNU/Linux systems nowadays default to enable multicast reception even also. cheers, stesie _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
