SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows 2000, when you run a program that uses raw sockets, and the raw sockets use the WSAIoctl function with the SIO_RCVALL flag, the program does not see an incoming User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet. The application sees only the outgoing Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packet. This problem occurs even though the UDP packet is set to an unbound port.
For example, this problem occurs when your program uses the Rcvall code sample that is included in the Windows 2000 software development kit (SDK). Programs that are affected may include a call that is similar to the following:
WSAIoctl(
Socket, SIO_RCVALL, &Option, sizeof(Option), NULL, 0,
&Length, NULL, NULL
);
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the TCP/IP stack lacks the code that is required to handle this scenario correctly.
