I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. Setting a net route on a broadcast device will cause ARP request for the IP addresses in that network to be broadcast on that segment. Nothing more, nothing less. A host has to respond to these requests for routing to occur (most likely though proxy arp). The only thing being sent with a broadcast MAC are the ARP requests, but those are always sent this way. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
