Re: [DLC]Multicast

Scott,

  I guess I am trying to understand what you are expecting from the
kernel in regards to multi-casting?  A user space program joins a
multi-cast group, and the appropriate information is sent to the user
space program.  I have written a couple multi-cast applications for
*nix and windows.  Do you have a specific problem you are trying to
troubleshoot, or are you attempting to write a program?

A couple of links:
