: No you want to use SIOCADDMULTI/SIOCDELMULTI for the addresses needed really
I'd say: "You do not want to use neither IFF_PROMISC nor IFF_ALLMULTI nor SIOC{ADD|DEL}MULTI. You DO want to use PACKET_{ADD|DROP}_MEMBESHIP" 8)
Even if the application does not use packet socket, it would be better if it opened one and bound to corresponding multicast addresses. At least, this solution is "reenterable" and fault safe.
