We are using OpenSLP 2.0.0. We are interested in 2.0 primarily because of the
support for broadcast since we will be eventually running in a proprietary
network that does not yet support multicast. We have found that we can't get
broadcast to work, and we are interested in others' experience with it.
What we have tried so far
1. We are using a simple two-node configuration; the machines are
configured to see each other.
2. Compiled and installed SLP 2.0, and set the broadcast address in
slp.conf to observe if a registration is relayed and visible to all on both
nodes.
3. We looked at a tcpdump output, but we did not see any packets directed
to the broadcast address when a service registered to SLP on one of the nodes.
i. Query on
either node for the registered service doesn't see it.
4. We found something of interest in the patch for the issue detailed
here http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/127/. We tried to apply it, but it
is available only for SLP versions 1.2 and 1.3 . We could not find an
associated patch for 2.0 (presumably since 2.0 already has broadcast support).
Has anyone being using 2.0 successful with broadcast mode? If you are, please
share your experience. Thank you very much.
