My apologies. At the moment multicast is way above me. But found a few things. In Windows to enable it's usage in the network stack you need to go into programs and features, additional Windows features. And use the drop down in MSMQ to find enable multicasting support.
My router does support mc routing. Thing is. Trying to get my osmio4k running openvix will get me over to their place to ask about mc. Suggesting using an private IP and port in the commercial receiver seems to be 100% incorrect;
Looks like the range of IPv4 is 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. And those ranges each have their own specifics.
Then there is IPv6. Whew! A TBS DVB-S2 PCIe card in a pc sure makes TS analysis easy.
Commercial users of these rack mount receivers using the GigE port have their day cut out for them.
I never gave it a thought why the machine vision racks at my previous industry used "funky" hard coded IP addresses.
I just accepted it. A stack of 6 pc's all talking to each other. I "built" the LAN from the ground up. To grab reports, etc.
And it worked. Never gave the...224.0.0.XXX vision system a second thought. Knew nothing, didn't know why.
Then the powers that be decided to contract Level 3 to come in and take over the networking to a central location deep inside of the Federal Reserve on Jacksonville.
"Stay out of their way" they said. I did. That was during a Friday evening to Sunday evening complete plant move down the street. What a cluster you-know-what.
The Level 3 geeks did their thing. Evening crew scheduled. All pertinent machines setup and running.
Looks ok. Sweaty, crusty, stressed, tired. Thinking it was all over. Done. Get it working, make it pretty later.
Long story short. Plant manager calls. Nope. Spotty working machines. Then they worked.
CEO slash whatever calls a bit later. You gotta' come in. I complied.
Grabbed spools of Cat6 and everything needed to build and certify cabling the way it used to be.
Put on the blinders. CEO asks me to teach him how to terminate cabling. I just said stay away, I got this. Asked me how he could help. In front of the evening crew I slapped my right Levis pocket hard and just said you can help me right here.
Anyway. Stripped out the Level 3 networking and wired the machines the way they used to be.
I could go on.I kept my job. My way worked. We walked past each other in the shop on either side for a week or so.
I could go on.
Now those funky IP's are multicast! Wow. And Level 3 never asked, never knew that they needed to add that to the routing/firewall/throw-in-a-coathanger to the mess. All I had used were PnP business class switches.
Sorry for the rant.
