10.3.3. Transports

10.3.3.1. [Major] Multicast sockets always bound to the multicast address on non-Windows platforms

Connext Micro always bound multicast receive sockets to the multicast address upon creation, even if enable_interface_bind had not been set. This only occurred on non-Windows platforms.

Now, disable_multicast_bind can optionally disable binding a multicast receive socket to its multicast receive address.

See Improve control of data distribution to multicast addresses with new UDP transport options for more information on disable_multicast_bind.

Note

On some platforms, you may need to set disable_multicast_bind to 1 to interoperate Connext Micro with Connext Professional because Connext Professional does not bind multicast receive sockets to the multicast address.
