Title: ldltest program, two routes into IP?

hi there,

  Looking over the archives (may2001) (apr2002) there was
  talk that -

  1) You needed to do a ifconfig down of the ethernet driver
     before ldltest would get data.

  2) The two paths into IP, Eth0--ldl--ip_strms--LinuxIP and
     Eth0--LinuxIP would cause problems.

  I tried with RedHat8.0 with LiS 2.14.H, the ldltest managed
  to send out a ARP request, which was replied to, but it didn't
  seem to get out of the eth driver, so ldltest just hung.
  (I tried this with the ifconfig IPaddress, and a different one,
  no luck.)

  Questions are -

  a) Has anything changed since the archives?  Seemed there was
     a bit of a debate if (1) above was true or not.

  b) When ldl registers with the ethernet driver, can it not
     register as a different IP address (even different network)
     to the Linux IP address?  So the linux box is multihomed,
     one IP address going direct to IP, other through streams.
     Is this not possible?
 
  cheers,

andy
