Hello.
Sorry for my bad English. If I understood rfc919 right, there are two types
of broadcasts: "local" which is 255.255.255.255 and "remote" which is, for
example, 192.168.1.255 when 192.168.1.0 is subnet address. But NutIpInput()
function sets up "bcast" flag even if the destination broadcast IP address
is from another subnet.
Maybe, checking like this:
dst == ( nif->if_local_ip | ~nif->if_mask )
is more correct than
( dst | nif->if_mask ) == INADDR_BROADCAST
?
Thanks for your attention.
