hb.multicast

The hb.multicast driver sends and receives using TCP multicast packets.

Basic Configuration

[hb#2]
type = multicast

Behavior with Basic Configuration

  • The Rx thread listens on all interfaces on port 10000
  • The Tx thread sends to 224.3.29.71:10000

Advanced Configuration

A more precise definition allows specifying network interfaces, addresses, and ports for each node:

[hb#2]
type = multicast
intf@node1 = eth0
intf@node2 = eth2
addr = 224.3.29.71
port = 10001
timeout = 15

The addr and port keywords are not scopable.
