Hi,
I'm trying to use aliased interfaces to run multiple instances of a
process that receives UDP broadcasts; I want to test all in a single
computer when I have no access to the network.
My problem is that I can bind to the virtual interface ip to send and
receive packets, but I don't receive udp broadcasts. I have no firewall
rules that block it and udp bcasts are generated from the same computer
too.
Is there any sysctl param I need to change? I'm usre this can be done but
I haven't found how.
Thanks
Pau
