Somebody I work with has spent the last three days trying to send UDP
multicast packets using eCos and the FreeBSD network stack.
After quite a bit of trial-and-error we've discovered that you can't
send UDP multicast packets without configuring a valid gateway
address.
That seems broken to me.
What are you supposed to do if you're on a strictly local network that
doesn't _have_ a gateway? [That is the case for many of our products.]
UDP multicast (by definition) won't use the gateway, so why require
that one is configured?
