Constructor arguments determine per-instance optional * functionality. * * Note that multicast semantics and implementation details are @i 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 receive addresses and network interfaces, but not port number, * are independent. While this instance is open, one send interface (and a * default send address) is in effect and 0, 1, or multiple receive * addresses/interfaces are in effect. * - The first open()/subscribe() invocation defines the network interface * and default address used for all sends by this instance, defines the * port number and optionally the multicast address bound to the underlying * socket, and defines the (one) port number that is used for all subscribes * (subsequent subscribes must pass the same port number or 0). * - The default loopback state is not explicitly set; the environment will * determine the default state. Note that some environments (e.g. some * Windows versions) 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 subscribe() and unsubscribe()): * - If @a net_if == 0, the @c OPT_NULLIFACE_ALL and @c OPT_NULLIFACE_ONE * options determine whether only the system default interface * (if @c OPT_NULLIFACE_ONE is set) or all interfaces (if * @c OPT_NULLIFACE_ALL is set) is affected. Specifying all interfaces * functions correctly only on: * + Windows * + Platforms with the ACE_HAS_GETIFADDRS config setting (includes Linux) * + Platforms which accept the IP address as an interface * name/specification * + Systems with only one non-loopback interface. * Other platforms require additional supporting code. * - 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 @a net_if 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 * string form and join() will convert them into numbers. */ class ACE_Export ACE_SOCK_Dgram_Mcast : public ACE_SOCK_Dgram { public: /** * @brief Option parameters. * * These control per-instance optional functionality.
