Template parameters and/or ctor arguments determine * per-instance optional functionality. * * Note that multicast semantics and implementation details are _very_ * environment-specific; this class is just a wrapper around the underlying * implementation and does not try to normalize the concept of multicast * communications. * * Usage Notes: * - Send and Recv addresses and network interfaces, but not port#, are * independent. While this instance is open, 1 send interface (and a default * send address) is in effect and 0, 1, or multiple recv addresses/interfaces * are in effect. * - The first / invocation defines the network interface * and default address used for all sends by this instance, defines the * port# and optionally the multicast address bound to the underlying * socket, and defines the (one) port# that is used for all subscribes * (subsequent subscribes must pass the same port# or '0'). * - The default loopback state is not explicitly set; the environment will * determine the default state. Note that some environments (e.g. some Win32) * do not allow the default to be changed, and that the semantics of * loopback control are environment dependent (e.g. sender vs receiver * control). * - In general, due to multicast design and implementation quirks/bugs, it is * difficult to tell which address a received message was sent to or which * interface it was received on (even if only one subscription is active). * However; there are filtering options that can be applied, to narrow it * down considerably. * * Interface specification notes (for and ): * - If net_if == 0, the null_iface_opt option determines whether only the * system "default" interface or all interfaces is affected. Specifying * "all" interfaces is supported only for environments for which * is properly implemented. * - Multiple subscriptions for the same address but different interfaces is * normally supported, but re-subscription to an address/interface that is * already subscribed is normally not allowed. * - The interface specification syntax is environment-specific. * UNIX systems will normally use device specifications such as "le0" or * "elxl1", while other systems will use the IP address of the interface. * Some platforms, such as pSoS, support only cardinal numbers as network * interface specifications; for these platforms, just give these numbers in * alphanumeric form and will convert them into numbers via * . */ class ACE_Export ACE_SOCK_Dgram_Mcast : public ACE_SOCK_Dgram { public: /** * @brief Option parameters. * * These control per-instance optional functionality.
