Good morning, I got the impression that the socket option IP_MULTICAST_LOOP has no effect on 4.0-STABLE. Multicast packages are not looped back to the originating host. Looping back should be the default behavior of the socket API (Stevens, Unix Network Programming). I tried to explicitly switch it on with IP_MULTICAST_LOOP, but it didn't work either. Of course the socket is subscribed to the group (IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP). Am I missing something or should this be a bug?
