Function multicasts

Parameters

• opts: {
      group?: string;
      multicastLoopback?: boolean;
      multicastTtl?: number;
      port?: number;
  } = {}

  • Optionalgroup?: string

    Multicast group address.

    Default Value

    224.0.23.170

    Remarks

    Due to dgram.Socket API limitation, if multiple multicast UDP transports are using the same port number but different group addresses, incoming traffic may be received on all sockets regardless of the group address. This also affects multicast UDP transports in other programs such as YaNFD. To isolate the traffic, the port number must be changed.

  • OptionalmulticastLoopback?: boolean

    MulticastLoopback flag.

    Default Value

    false

    Remarks

    Changing this option is inadvisable except for unit testing.

  • OptionalmulticastTtl?: number

    Multicast TTL.

    Default Value

    1

    Remarks

    Changing this option is inadvisable except for unit testing.

  • Optionalport?: number

    Local and group port.

    Default Value

    56363
