- Hello, wizards
-
- I have the following (hopfully not too simple) question(s) for you:
-
- Given access to the socket structure and accompanying information,
- is it possible to determine if a received packet (message) originally
- was sent as a broadcast message ? That is, where/when is the original
- to adress droped ?
-
- If it's not possible from the socket layer, how far "down" do I
- have to look to find this information, and will it be possible to
- forward this info to the socket layer in any way ?
-
- Thanks in advance.
- Have a nice day.
