The purpose of doing it is to simulate a user/machine that wants to receive the multicast traffic so that you can test. You are basically telling the router "join this multicast group". When you have a receiver joining the group, you can test that your multicast is actually working by pinging that group address. When you ping the group address you become a multicast source, and any receivers (the router) should respond) On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 10:45 AM, Bodnar, Edward <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a quick question.
