This paragraph if from UNP, chapter 21.3 page 555
- A host running an application that has joined some multicast group whose corresponding Ethernet address just happens to be one that the interface receives when it is programmed to receive 01:00:5e:00:01:01 (e.e., the interface card performs imperfect filtering). This frame will be discarded either by datalink layer or by the IP layer.
I just don't know which special case is the author talking about. Could you help me explain it clearly?
