[GitHub] [incubator-nuttx] v01d opened a new issue #3381: BROADCAST WITH MULTIPLE NETWORK INTERFACES

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

v01d opened a new issue #3381:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/issues/3381


   ```
     Description: There is currently no mechanism to send a broadcast packet
                  out through several network interfaces.   Currently packets
                  can be sent to only one device.  Logic in netdev_findby_ipvXaddr()
                  currently just selects the first device in the list of
                  devices; only that device will receive broadcast packets.
     Status:      Open
     Priority:    High if you require broadcast on multiple networks.  There is
                  no simple solution known at this time, however.  Perhaps
                  netdev_findby_ipvXaddr() should return a list of devices rather
                  than a single device?  All upstream logic would then have to
                  deal with a list of devices.  That would be a huge effect and
                  certainly doesn't dount as a "simple solution".
