In short, supporting this request is going to take only a tiny bit of time to support.
don't forget to include the time to read all the email discussion about it. :)
I just did a small experiment with the probe firmware. Allowing 240.0.0.0/4 and 0.0.0.0/8 is a two line change. I tested this on V3 and V4 probes and on CentOS 7. In all 3 cases, the linux kernel does support 240.0.0.0/4 and does not support 0.0.0.0/8.
so, what experiment(s) do you think would be useful once some capable probes deploy?
We are not going to releasing new firmware for V1 and V2 (except to address security issues).
i can not get to my v1 probes during covid lockdown even if you shipped replacements to me :( < snif > will you upgrade soft probes? or send instructions? randy
