This is not a linux specific question more of a general network issue with the hope that someone may have already done this under linux.My problem:I have a red hat linux machine transmitting IP multicast packets onto an ethernet gigabit network (cisco switch).Wireshark (running on a different red hat linux box confirms packets on network.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor the last couple of days, I've been unsuccesfully trying to receive multicast packets on Ubuntu Server 11.04, and seen some strange things along the way. The program i use to test this, is basically http://www.scribd.com/doc/38224328/mcreceive-c.Now the network has been configured to forward me the multicast packets, regardless of the joins. So tcpdump shows me:
Code:
15:16:11.308952 IP 10.164.130.2.61417 > 224.16.17.23.47806: UDP, length 1400

I've got an application that compiles in Windows and Linux and is using UDP multicast to communicate. I'm running it on a Windows machine, a Linux machine and a small board (Gumstix) that is running Linux as well. The Windows and Linux machines have no problems sending/receiving packets with each other. The Gumstix and Linux machines have no problems sending/receiving packets with each other. The Gumstix can also send/receive packets with two instances of the application both running on the Gumstix.
But when running on the Gumstix I can send udp multicast packets to Windows, but cannot receive them. (It works if I do point to point with a known IP port#, but not multicast.) I can run tcpdump on the Gumstix and see the packets, but they are not being received on my socket. Here's what tcpdump (running on the Gumstix) outputs when sending the same packet from different sources. Notice the IP header ID and flags (don't fragment) are different when coming from Windows.

I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work but am not getting anywhere. Also I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to Linux. Anything I could try to be able to receive udp multicast packets from Windows?
I have 4 interfaces, dvb0_0 - dvb0_3. Each one has a multicast stream coming in on it. The program I am using to decode these streams only accepts one interface though. How can I "combine" so that the program, listening on 1 ip can get all 4 streams? they are on groups 224.0.1.1-4

View 1 Replies View Relatedhave a doubt about the multicast address.I have read that IP and ethernet multicast address have the same last 23 bits. While an ethernet multicast address always starts with 01:00:5E. Changing the last 23 bits of the IP address into hexadecimal form and "adding" them to the first 24 bits we find the ethernet address but what about the missing bit??? For istance I have: 230.11.111.10 = 11100110.00001011.01101111.00001010 So converting the last 23 bits I have b:6f:a The final ethernet address will be 01:00:5E:b:6f:a . And what about the missing bit?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a high speed udp multicast connection. There are about 37 multicast groups and average incoming rate via the connection is about 20000 pkt/sec and peak 40000+ pkt/sec. Each packet is about 100-300 bytes. And there are 6 busiest multicast groups generating 80% of the traffic. No significant outgoing traffic via that interface. The problem is that, if our heavy-weight application create 37 sockets for all the groups, the packet loss become quite frequent. but if we create the 6 sockets for the busiest groups, the packet loss drops to 1/10 of the original level. We can confirm that the lost packets DO arrive in our box because a light-weight recorder on another box on the same ethernet segment can see the lost packets when listening to the same groups. If we start another heavy-weight application for the rest groups (31 groups ) on the same box, the packet loss just come back to the original level.
The packet loss happens not only to the heavy-weight application but also the light-weight recorder running on the same system. that is, the loss is system wide. The socket kernel buffer are all 4MB max and did not observe system buffer overflow. It seems the number of sockets listening to the same multicast group have the most negative impact on packet loss. And the higher traffic have a far less impact on packet loss than the number of sockets. It also seems that there is some limit in the kernel that when socket number are reduced under, the packet loss can significantly ease. How can I further diagnose the problem? Our system is RHEL 5.3 32bit i386, Xeon 2.9GHZ 16 Processors, 32GB memory. Two broadcom giga netowrk card and 6 Intel GIGA NIC, and only one interface card has so much traffic.
I am trying to run some benchmark tests for multicast. What I want to do is have one system send multicast packets and another receive it on all it's interfaces (eth0-eth3). Whenever I run receiver on more than one interface I get echo effect (if I receive on x interfaces then I get same packet x number of times). Is this how it is supposed to behave? It does not make any difference whether I use loop-back or not. I have set SO_REUSEADDR to yes. I run separate instance of receiver on each interface. I am doing this on RHEL5 systems.

I'm trying to receive data that is being broadcast on address 224.0.1.1, 224.0.1.2, 224.0.1.3, 224.0.1.4. ports are 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204 respectively. I can see the data using wireshark but can not get my program to receive the data. all firewalls are shutdown. iptables is not running, i've set net.ipv4_icmp_ignore_broadcasts = 0 and still no luck.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just set up an FC 13 box for a small network application. At the core, the application is supposed to receive some data over a multicast on my local network. However, for some reason, I am not being able to receive any multicast data on this machine. Other machines, on the same network (connected on the same layer 2 switch) are receiving the multicast just fine. I have tried the following things:
1. ensure that I am joining the multicast on the correct interface: the machine has only one ethernet card. Also, after starting my application, I use netstat -g to check for group membership. The multicast subscription shows up fine.
2. ensure there is no error in the program: the program works fine on my person linux machine
3. ensure that the multicast is actually available: it is available on all other local machines. I also wrote my own small broadcaster. data from this broadcaster (running on the same box) is available to other machines but not to my own listener program.
4. no firewall/filtering settings on the layer2 switch
5. TTL setting on the broadcast: have tried changing it from 1 through 5 with no effect. Note that even if the broadcast is coming from the same machine, my machine does not pick it up while other machines on the network do so.
I suspect this has to do with some settings on the network card itself. Below is the output of /sbin/ifconfig on the card:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:67:BBA
inet addr:192.200.20.32 Bcast:192.200.20.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

How can I find out list of multicast addresses and port in use?"netstat -ng" only gives list of multicast addresses that have been joined, it does not give port number.I have several hundred servers running application that listens to several multicast addresses on different ports. I want to write an audit script and get the list of multicast address and port numbers.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've just set up an LTSP server, with all its clients on a separate subnet to my main network - the main network is 192.168.1.x, and the LTSP clients are all 192.168.2.x. My LTSP server has 2 NICs, one on each network, and is merrily forwarding normal IP traffic from the clients to the rest of the network. I have a client/server application that has a server on one machine, and clients locate and attach to it using multicast protocols. The server is on the main network, and any other machines on the network can locate and talk to the server quite happily. The LTSP clients, however, cannot - I assume because the multicast communications aren't being forwarded by the LTSP server. How I can get this working?

all I get is the broadcast address can be used to send packets of information to all computers on a network simultaneously. Can that be used during MPI programming or anything of the such? What is the day to day use of the broadcast address?

I have the drives installed and it seams to be working when i run the 'Additional Drives', but I can't get the wireless adapter broadcasting. I followed the instructions given in the knowledge base on installing Broadcom Wireless, to see if I could get it running and that is where I saw the difference between the example and my computer when writing the 'sudo lshw -C network' command. In the example it said it was broadcasting under configuration (just like my wired networks below) and in mine it does not (see below for copy past).

I'm using F15 with two nics, each on different subnets 192.168.1.0/25 and 192.168.1.128/25. My issue is that on boot my 192.168.1.2/25 interface sets a broadcast address of 192.168.1.255 which is incorrect I believe. Its broadcast should be 192.168.1.127. I've tried setting the broadcast param in ifcfg-p3p1 file "BROADCAST=192.168.1.127" with no benefit.I can change this after boot of course, but that removes my default gateway for some reason.

So I just changed my network card settings recently, and I'm now getting no response when I ping the broadcast address for them... the cards are all connected through a switch with IP addresses 192.168.0.x, broadcast 192.168.0.255... ifconfig on all of them shows UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST, but nobody responds to a broadcast packet. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Pinging each machine individually works fine.
