I have 2 computers running DDS configure to use unicast mode
Computer 1 has 4 interfaces:
eth0 (10.20.30.10)
eth1 (169.254.0.1)
eth2(169.254.0.5 )
eth3 (192.168.168.1)
Computer 2 has 1 interface:
eth0 (10.20.30.20)
The Unicast is configured between 10.20.30.10 and 10.20.30.20 like this in the USER_QOS_PROFILES:
<discovery>
<initial_peers>
<element>builtin.udpv4://10.20.30.10</element><element>builtin.udpv4://10.20.30.20</element></initial_peers>
<multicast_receive_addresses/>
</discovery>
<property>
<value>
<value>
<!-- That value should be always set to 1. Because it has lower priority
than multicast and will affect nothing if multicast enabled -->
<element>
<name>dds.transport.UDPv4.builtin.unicast_enabled</name>
<value>1</value>
</element>
than multicast and will affect nothing if multicast enabled -->
<element>
<name>dds.transport.UDPv4.builtin.unicast_enabled</name>
<value>1</value>
</element>
<!-- Set value to "0" when wish to switch to Unicast -->
<element>
<name>dds.transport.UDPv4.builtin.multicast_enabled</name>
<value>0</value>
</element>
<element>
<name>dds.transport.UDPv4.builtin.multicast_enabled</name>
<value>0</value>
</element>
<element>
<name>dds.transport.UDPv4.builtin.multicast_ttl</name>
<value>5</value>
</element>
<name>dds.transport.UDPv4.builtin.multicast_ttl</name>
<value>5</value>
</element>
</value>
</property>
</property>
When I've checked my network equipment I discovered that the 10.20.30.20 machine sends millions of udp packets to the addresses belongs to the eth1,eth2, eht3 on the seond computer.
These address arn't rountable, and aren't reachable - so obviesly nothing happenes, just a network overload of junk.
How can I disable this behaviour ?
Thanks,
Dani
Hi Dani,
Have you tried to deny at DDS level the interfaces you do not want to use? You can see how in this article: https://community.rti.com/howto/configure-dds-work-multiple-network-interfaces
Let me know if that works,
Sara
