| Dec 2, 2019 at 7:15 | comment | added | Stefan van den Akker | Maybe that's what I don't understand: can I send a L3 packet with a unicast address to a L2 multicast address? Or should the L3 address type always match the L2 address type (IP multicast always needs to have a MAC multicast address, IP unicast always needs to have a MAC unicast address)? | |
