1cm NB.
Neither ip nor the kernel check for multicast address validity.
Particularly, this means that you can try to load a unicast address
instead of a multicast address. Most drivers will ignore such addresses,
but several (f.e. Tulip) will intern it to their on-board filter.
The effects may be strange. Namely, the addresses become additional
local link addresses and, if you loaded the address of another host
to the router, wait for duplicated packets on the wire.
It is not a bug, but rather a hole in the API and intra-kernel interfaces.
This feature is really more useful for traffic monitoring, but using it
with Linux-2.2 you have to be sure that the host is not
a router and, especially, that it is not a transparent proxy or masquerading
agent.
