Well, no. First, multicast doesn't really work on loopback. I don't recall why... One symptom of this is that one can't use the multicast transport for User-Mode-Linux when not "online" (i.e. on the train).
Second, testing it via ping to 224.0.0.1 isn't really the right test. You have to join a multicast group, etc...
So, I don't think that the test was done right. ] ON HUMILITY: to err is human.
