java.net.Inet4Address.isMCLinkLocal() works incorrectly

Name: dfR10049 Date: 01/19/2001



isMCLinkLocal() method of Inet4Address class works incorrectly.

According to rfc2365 IPv4 prefix for multicast addresses with link-local scope is:
224.0.0/24. But method implementation has typo:

Inet4Address.java:

    public boolean isMCLinkLocal() {
// 224.0.0/24 prefix and ttl == 1
           ^^^
return (((address >>> 24) & 0xFF) == 244)
                                             ^^^ - typo!
&& (((address >>> 16) & 0xFF) == 0)
&& (((address >>> 8) & 0xFF) == 0);
    }
