Hello,
I´m developing an application that uses multicast ip addresses. At
office I have an ethernet where to try things out, but at home I just have
one PC. I found a 10Mbps PCI ne2000 compatible nic and took it home together
with a T and two 50ohm line terminals. I placed the nic in the PC, connected
the T with both line terminals to try to fool my PC, loaded my eth0, and
tried
ping 192.168.1.1
I got something like 90% loss. Then tried
ping 127.0.0.1
and worked perfectly well.
Then I tried my app and it was awfully slow. It writes to and listens
from an ip multicast address. This process is too slow.
My questions are:
1) Why am I getting this loss? Anything wrong with the connection?
2) Is there any other better way to do this (I mean make your apps
believe you're on an ethernet)? Remeber it's multicast,
that's why I don't use loopback (127.0.0.1).
Thanks
Matías.
