Kevin,
I'm testing the code right now, but I made a couple of small additions to
your UDP code:
- Check if the InetAddress is a MulticastAddress. If so, create a
MulticastSocket instead and join
the group
- During cleanup, try and cast the DatagramSocket to a MulticastSocket. If
it works, leave the group.
- added an optional MulticastInterface configuration option in case there
are multiple interface cards in the computer
Source code is attached.
-Chris
