Hello Friends,
I have one doubt regarding LSRR (Loose Source and Record Route) IP option.
Whether IPv4 optoins will be processed only by Router or they can be processed by any PC within the network??
What i'm trying is: i'm giving a list of IP address in the option using setsockopt system call, say:
IP-1 => 192.168.0.1
IP-2 => 192.168.0.2
IP-1 => 192.168.0.3
IP-2 => 192.168.0.4 ==> This is the destination PC
All these system are connected in a LAN and are running Windows OS. But the system on which this program is run has Linux.
If I send a datagram using SOCK_DGRAM socket, I'm able to receive the packet only in 192.168.0.1. This PC (192.168.0.1) is not forwarding the IP packet to the next PC in the list i.e., 192.168.0.2.
Can please any one clarify whether ip options can be processed by all the PC or only Routers can process it.
Thanks in Advance.
