That is the Ethernet address that corresponds to the IP multicast address 224.0.0.1, to which all multicast-capable IP hosts are expected to listen. Might as well conserve filter slots, where possible. I just barfed up my breakfast. Have they stopped teaching modularity and functional boundaries in computer science classes?
