#377: Default RTP Multicast Address ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: lennart Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: module-rtp-* | Severity: normal Keywords: multicast, igmp | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Hello,
We use pulseaudio in our LAN and we've noticed that the default Multicast IP Address (ie 224.0.0.56) used by the module-rtp-send and module-rtp-recv seems to be part of the "well-known" Multicast adresses. As a result, some switches (HP Procurve in our case) won't filter the igmp traffic, but will broadcast it to all ports. I attached a documentation from HP Procurve Networking with better explanations about this on page 100, (4-22). We had to change the multicast IP address to resolv that issue. It seems that the 239.255.x.x range is dedicated to local multicast diffusion. We use 239.255.1.56 and it now works perfectly. My request is to have the default multicast IP address changed so that multicast diffusion works in all case with all network materials. I would be glad to provide more information, Best regards Sven Marquilly [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ticket URL: <http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/377> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
