i have written a multicast program which: -it build a network topology with a specific text file -allow nodes to join to/prune from multicast group -allow only multicast group members receive multicast packets from the multicast root compiles/tested under linux it worked with my test cases. email me... and i'll provide the code and specs
I just brought this program over to MSWindows and it works perfectly. I have no idea why this does not work under linux. Often this kind of problem has to do with security issues or wrong routing tables, but everthing looks ok... nitro
I figured it out Had to add an obscure class D (multicast) IP route to go through eth1 to the routing table. paaaaaaaaaaaahty Amazing what a good night sleep and a long walk can do. Thanks to all that helped. nitro
