The broadcasts don't have to leave my PC so I shouldn't need a multicast router, do I? The client is running in one terminal window and the server in a second terminal window.
I checked the router man page and found the following: route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0 This is an obscure one documented so people know how to do it. This sets all of the class D (multicast) IP routes to go via "eth0". This is the correct normal configuration line with a multicasting kernel.
If there is another command, will you please tell me what it is?
Thanks,
