[etherlab-users] ethercat filtering

[Sriram V]

Hi mike,

I understand that. This is a totallyu different question and pertains
to ethernet.

I am just trying to find out on a normal ethernet network with 2
interfaces whether a IP routing takes place.
I am using a raw socket and seem to packets even though ifconfig does
not show any increase in Rx Packets.



Thanks,
Sriram
