Furthermore I am not fully convinced that our udp stack is broken. For the first patch, having loopback on multicast socket is a configurable feature so there is no point in changin the default behaviour when 1-2 line change can fix the thing. For the ICMP response behaviour, I agree that there would be better to fix the kernel but the current behaviour is not totally unreasonable. Cheers Luigi
