For a client and a server application to run on the same device, we simply need the client's discovery packets to somehow discover the server that is running there. From that point forward, everything should proceed normally with current code. All we need for this is to configure our multicast query packets to be sent with IP_MULTICAST_LOOP / IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
