I sent a similar message to LKML, but thought this list might also be
appropriate.
It's likely this is a programming error, but I am at a loss.
The simple UDP multicast receive application below, adapted from source
on IBM's web site, will not receive any data. While it is blocked on
recv():
hfclinux2:/home/root/UDP/apps/Crosser2# netstat -ang
IPv6/IPv4 Group Memberships
Interface RefCnt Group
--------------- ------ ---------------------
lo 1 224.0.0.1
eth0 1 224.0.0.1
eth1 1 224.0.17.44
eth1 1 224.0.0.1
lo 1 ff02::1
eth0 1 ff02::1:ffdd:eb2b
eth0 1 ff02::1
eth1 1 ff02::1:ffdd:eb2c
eth1 1 ff02::1
And tcpdump shows traffic arriving at the interface(see below)! This
leads me to belive the kernel is filtering it, and or not delivering it
to the socket.
The one "strange" thing about this network is that the traffic is
flowing in "dense mode", meaning there is no explicit need for IGMP
messaging (nor any response to such messaging).
Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding why the socket
never receives any data????
Thanks.
