Ignore SPDP from non-selected interfaces
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Ignore SPDP messages that:

* Provably arrived over a network interface we didn't enable

* Were multicast over a network interface on which did not allow
  multicast discovery.

For an example why this is useful: on Linux, running two proceses one allowing multicast
over loopback but not Ethernet, and one allowing it over Ethernet but not over loopback,
both processes do receive the multicast message despite not having joined the multicast
group on the interface it is sent on.  With this commit, those SPDP messages are ignored
and the two processes do not discover each other.

The direct reason for this change is to make it possible to have discovery over Ethernet
only with unicast messages, while using relying on multicast over loopback.  This turns
out to be a rather important set-up, and is even the new default in ROS 2.
