Is that correct? I thought that a ping to a router's own
interface would be moved across from the output queue to the
input queue on that interface - if the stack is written properly
which many ATM ones aren't. I don't think the packet will appear
out-with the router. Similarly a broadcast has to be sent to the
all-hosts address (ethernet FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) and /also/ copied
across to the input queue. I remember reading this in one of
Douglas Comer's excellent books: I hope I remember correctly.
Anyone care to comment?
