Hi Ferruh,
To be absolutely sure, I performed a test using the test application.
When I send pings from an interface:
3: ens8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state
UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:c8:79:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Here is what's in sockaddr_ll:
$2 = {sll_family = 0x11, sll_protocol = 0x8, sll_ifindex = 0x2, sll_hatype
= 0x1, sll_pkttype = 0x0, sll_halen = 0x6, sll_addr = {
0x52, 0x54, 0x0, 0xc8, 0x79, 0xc6, 0x0, 0x0}}
So everything works as expected – the address in sll_addr is correct.
Last two bytes are zero because the length of sll_addr is 8, however,
Ethernet length is 6.
