pinging multicast address - Cisco Community For example; if you are running OSPF, the hello packets use 224.0.0.6. If you were to ping 224.0.0.6 all the OSPF routers that are sending hellos out will answer your ping. This is helpful if you have an INIT on your OSPF neighbor. Like the comment was stated below, it depends on how the application reacts to the multicast traffic 15 Troubleshooting Multicast Configuration The following considerations apply to multicast addresses: The multicast address must be an IP address between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255 or a host name with an IP address in this range. The default multicast address used by WebLogic Server is 239.192.0.0. Do not use any x.0.0.1 multicast address where x is between 0 and 9, inclusive. Multicast DNS (mDNS) on Beaglebone AI | Linux.org

testing - Tools to test multicast routing - Server Fault iperf is perfect for this and it's readily available for most linux distributions and windows. On the listener side: % iperf -s -u -B 224.1.1.1 -i 1 ----- Server listening on UDP port 5001 Binding to local address 224.1.1.1 Joining multicast group 224.1.1.1 Receiving 1470 byte datagrams UDP buffer size: 110 KByte (default) ----- linux - listing multicast sockets - Stack Overflow
With multicast, however, it is necessary to advise the kernel which multicast groups we are interested in. That is, we have to ask the kernel to "join" those multicast groups. Depending on the underlying hardware, multicast datagrams are filtered by the hardware or by the IP layer (and, in some cases, by both).
Multicast on transit gateways - Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Multicast is a communication protocol used for delivering a single stream of data to multiple receiving computers simultaneously. Transit Gateway supports routing multicast traffic between subnets of attached VPCs and serves as a multicast router for instances sending traffic destined for multiple receiving instances.
