Description
Sends router discovery solicitations on this interface as limited broadcasts (255.255.255.255), instead of as multicasts, as described in RFC 1256, ICMP Router Discovery Messages.
By default, router discovery solicitations are sent to the all-routers multicast group (224.0.0.2). Also by default, IRDP client listens to both multicast and broadcast router advertisements.
