Hi Guys, While debugging a misbehaving program, I found that on FreeBSD, if you bind() a udp socket to a multicast address, so that you can receive on it, and you then mistakenly use it to send, the behaviour between IPv4 and IPv6 differ. On IPv6 you get a error EOPNOTSUPP, which is understandable, but on IPv4 the packet is actually send with the source address being the multicast address. Is that the expected behaviour?
Looking through the code, I see that in IPv6 there is a lot of sanity checks in the output routine, but very little to check the source address in the IPv4 output routine.
