With reference to my question regarding resolving the MAC address, I tried to do so by using ioctl(s,SIOCGARP,...) But the stevens book on network programming says this may not work on the newer versions.
Please clarify.

I am writing a program which requires writing complete IPv6 packets on the network. So I used sockets created by using sockfd=socket(PF_PACKET,SOCK_DGRAM,htons(ETH_P_IPV6)) When writing the packets using the sendto function. I need to specify the hardware address of the destination address. This i guess involves resolving the MAC address of the destination IP address. What is the method to do so ? Thank for your help and time. regards Rikhil --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
