Subject: send_packet dmac address explicitly not copied into target mac address in payload
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:16:49 +1000
To: bug-Net-ARP [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Daniel Black <daniel.subs [...] internode.on.net>
I've found this is needed in large infrastructure providers (Linode) to get the message to the right address. ARP.xs - if(strcmp(dmac,"ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff")) memcpy(arp->dest_add,(u_char *)ether_aton(dmac),ETH_ALEN); // Destination MAC If this does need to be here for some reason then document it.
