Thanks Ross, <div>I will try freeBSD and report back. </div><div><br></div><div>The part that I don't get is how do other apps don't get this problem on the same OS with the same input streams. </div><div><a href="http://239.255.1.1:22334">239.255.1.1:22334</a></div>
<div><a href="http://239.255.1.2:22334">239.255.1.2:22334</a></div><div><a href="http://239.255.1.3:22334">239.255.1.3:22334</a></div><div><br></div><div>All are recognized as different sources, since the combination of multicast IP and port is unique.</div>
<div>They all subscribe to all addresses, but when reading the requested socket, they read the one selected on the port, not the others. </div><div><br></div><div>From what I understand you're saying that when live555 is requested to read on port 22334 of some source, traffic there is coming from all sources and not just the requested. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Again, I dont get it, how do other apps work if this be the case.</div><div>Its this that leads me to believe that even if there is an OS problem, there is some way around it in code.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Thanks again, </div><div>Appreciate your time.</div><div>I will try freeBSD.</div><div><br></div><div>Zed.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 3:12 PM, Ross Finlayson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:finlayson@live555.com">finlayson@live555.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">If your application is receiving - on a socket - traffic that was sent to a multicast address that that socket did not subscribe to, then that is definitely a problem with the operating system, not with your application, and not with our libraries.<br>
<br>
Because you say that you are unwilling to change your operating system[*], and because you say that you can't stop your incoming traffic (for different multicast addresses) from using distinct port numbers, then there's no help that I can give you. Sorry.<br>
<br>
[*] Note that FreeBSD - as far as I can tell - does not appear to have this problem. If I were you, I'd try using FreeBSD instead of Linux.<br>
