hello,

(sorry in case this is the wrong mailing list)

freebsd-net might be better; which I put on CC:.


while doing some network testing, I discovered that my FreeBSD (r304285,
but likely earlier + released ones as well) sends out two
(bytewise-)identical ICMP echo requests shortly after each other when I ping the broadcast (IPv4) address on an interface [tested with: tap,em,iwm].

This behaviour does not meet my expectations - is there any specific
reason for this behaviour; it behaves well (sending out a single ICMP
echo request) if I ping a unicast host.

Asking for a command line seems strange; but given I am replying, is there any delay between the two packets? If you ktrace ping, do you see multiple send calls for the same data?
