[PATCH[ nwfilter: Discard class D and E IP addresses when sniffing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When sniffing the network traffic, discard class D and E IP addresses when sniffing traffic. This was a reason why filters were not correctly rebuilt on VMs on the local 192.* network when libvirt was restarted and those VMs did not use a DHCP request to get its IP address.
