Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the feedback.

I have tested in below environments
Setup 1: 
  Machine1: RZ/G2L platform connected to Ubuntu Guest VM(bridged),Host oS windows via SWITCH and
  Machine2: RZ/G2M platform connected to Ubuntu Guest VM(bridged),Host oS windows via SWITCH

Then ran multicast_sender app from machine 2 and ran tcpdump on machine 1.
using devmem, I have controlled on/off PRM bit.

In both cases, on tcpdump from machine 1, I see multicast packets which I am not a member off.

Setup2:-

  RZ/G2L platform directly connected to RZ/G2M platform. 

Ran UDP unicast sockets to send data from RZ/G2M platform

ran tcpdump from from RZ/G2L platform

using devmem, I am controlling on/off PRM bit.

But for different addressed packet, I see RZ/G2L platfrom is trying to do ARP request for
different address. So packets are handled, with and without PRM bit set.

Biju
