Hi Friends, I am trying to read data from the link layer using linux raw sockets. I tested the program by sending loop back packets from my computer as well as, packets from other computers on the network, & it recieves the packets w/o any problem. The problem that I face is that I also recieve repetitive packets with src & dest MAC address set to 0.0.0.0.0.0, I also get these packets when I disconnect the ethernet cable from the other system/device. Could U please help me in analyzing what these packets are??? Also is it due to setting in promisious mode? I'm using debian linux kernel 2.6.24.3
Thanks a lot. Avinash.
