Hello everyone,

I assigned a 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC address to one of my interfaces on a machine 
and tried to ping the peer machine. The ping did go through fine.

I can the see the request and reply packets on the packet capture. I am 
wondering if that is legitimate and if not, who is supposed to check that. I 
mean, the stack or the driver on the sending machine or the receiving machine.

Basically, I am trying to test a statistics utility which keeps track of 
packets with invalid MAC addresses.  Are the packets with zero MAC addresses be 
classified as invalid?

Thanks a lot
Adarsh
