Hi,
Often Multicast sockets are set up to "not loopback". This means that any traffic sent from the local computer is not received at the local computer again. This is typically true of bridges. I do not think that you need to set up two separate cards to listen in to multicast and unicast at the same time. You can only set up one unicast socket listening on a particular port, but you can usually set up any number of multicast sockets listening on the same port as the unicast socket. Hope this helps, Andrew G D Rowley :) ============================================ Access Grid Support Centre, RSS Group, Manchester Computing, Kilburn Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK Tel: +44(0)161-275 0685 Email: andrew.row...@manchester.ac.uk _____ From: owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov [mailto:owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov] On Behalf Of Jinshung Liu Sent: 22 December 2004 03:18 To: ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov Subject: [AG-TECH] Bridge server with 2 interface cards Hi We were trying to build a better AG connection topology, so we intalled 2 network interface cards, where one sits in multicast network domain and the other in unicast network domain. But it didn't seem to work, the AG clients from multicast domain can't join with the AG clients from unicast domain ( the clients using bridge server). Could you give any suggestion ? Jinshung Liu
