https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D252596 --- Comment #9 from Inoki <veyx.shaw@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Mike Karels from comment #8) Thanks very much for the comments ! Yes, a simple UDP broadcast using 255.255.255.255 with default route returns "Network is unreachable" because of no route. Our application wants to use a UDP broadcast through 255.255.255.255 to discover a certain service. In the previous kernels, including the FreeBSD = part that macOS is using, it works fine. But we found that it does not work any = more on FreeBSD 13 (although we have not tested it for long time). Finally, our workaround is to iterate all the non-local interfaces and send= to their broadcast addresses. This should be coherent with the current design = in=20 the FreeBSD kernel. Thanks again ! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
