RE : RE : [lwip-users] Multi-cast UDP messages?

[Frédéric BERNON]

Sending a datagram to a multicast group doesn't really need any route: the 
lower 23bits of IP address are "mapped" on 23bits of MAC address. See 
etharp_output :

  /* multicast destination IP address? */
  } else if (ip_addr_ismulticast(ipaddr)) {
    /* Hash IP multicast address to MAC address.*/
    mcastaddr.addr[0] = 0x01;
    mcastaddr.addr[1] = 0x00;
    mcastaddr.addr[2] = 0x5e;
    mcastaddr.addr[3] = ip4_addr2(ipaddr) & 0x7f;
    mcastaddr.addr[4] = ip4_addr3(ipaddr);
    mcastaddr.addr[5] = ip4_addr4(ipaddr);
    /* destination Ethernet address is multicast */
    dest = &mcastaddr;

But ,the problem you got is like you don't have defined an default network 
interface :

struct netif *
ip_route(struct ip_addr *dest)
{
  struct netif *netif;

  /* iterate through netifs */
  for(netif = netif_list; netif != NULL; netif = netif->next) {
    /* network mask matches? */
    if (ip_addr_netcmp(dest, &(netif->ip_addr), &(netif->netmask))) {
      /* return netif on which to forward IP packet */
      return netif;
    }
  }
  /* no matching netif found, use default netif */
  return netif_default;
}

So, to fix this problem, check you call in your code the function :

void
netif_set_default(struct netif *netif)

Hi,
        After fixing a issue with a library, that was doing a 
disable_preemption, when sending out
Multi-cast UDP packets, I finally have Multi-Cast UDP packets at least 
getting to the TCP thread.
But still have a problem where they are not getting out on the network. 
(I use the standard lwip_sendto()).

Turning on UDP debugging I am seeing the following:

        udp_connect: connected to 239.192.254.60 port 2222
        udp_send
        udp_send: No route to [239.192.254.60]  // It just displays the long.

Now, my units IP address is 89.89.200.201 with a netmask of 255.0.0.0, 
So yes
the 239 address is not in my network.  Looking where it is trying to 
figure out
the correct netif to use, it does just compare the IP Addresses against 
the netmask
for a match.  I do not even see where it would take into an account a 
gateway, to
route the packet through, (Though that might be at a higher level??)

I do see that it looks like multi-cast input is supported (Though I 
don't know how much),
along with IGMP. I cannot figure out how to do the Multi-cast output.

Any help on where to look, or any other suggestions.

Thanks
        Robert
