UDP Socket bound to specific IP address does not respond to broadcasted packets !
Hi Team,
I am facing an issue related to UDP sockets on Linux. When a socket is bound to specif IP/Interface address rather than INADDR_ANY, does not send/receive broad casted packets. It can send/receive network packets addressed/destined to that particular IP only, broadcasted packets are discarded. So, broadcasting is totally blocked for such kind of applications/services.
What could be solution to this problem so that while using particular IP be able to listen/send broadcast packets ?
Any quick response is appreciated.
