Windows broadcast is received in counter

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open obstinate, the Send and receive counters will be implemented 
automatically.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the expected result is 0 in all counters when no traffic is generated.

What version and revision of the product are you using (available in the
About dialog)? On what operating system?
All versions in windows

Please provide any additional information below.
if a filter is added to the send and receiver side, it can block the broadcast.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the problem. Can you please elaborate?

Pleaset note that even if no traffic is being generated by Ostinato, on 
Windows, the Rx counters may increase if the peer is sending traffic - this 
traffic may be unicast, multicast or broadcast - Ostinato does not distinguish 
them and will count them all.

Even when no packet is generated from the Ethernet port, the counter in the
received port will be increased automatically. I think the windows
broadcast is received in the receiver end.

I'm afraid, I still don't understand.

Please specify how many hosts you are using, how are they connected, from which 
host to which host you are sending (or not sending) traffic, which counters are 
incrementing (or not incrememnting).

Please include as much detail as you can to help me understand the problem.

I would like to see filters on the Rx ports of Ostinato so that when running 
traffic with provisioned source and destination IP addresses, the Rx side does 
not increment with traffic that is not specifically destined for the Rx port of 
Ostinato. This would give real time stats when running tests to loops and back. 
Frame out=Frame back, no excess received frames/bytes.
