Why would a port open for unicast UDP accumulate multicast packets? (the most likely source of the unknown inbound data described by NI). Or are the unexpected packets coming from SD? I wish I had time to look into this - the NI explanation seems shallow. Why is the VxWorks community at-large not reporting this anomaly?

And if this is such a huge problem, why does the SD code not implement one of the workarounds? The NI bug report and workaround recommendation is nearly 2 years old.

Hey Mike, what year did Wind River switch stacks?
