2. Trouble Shooting
2.1 Multicast on Windows
There is a known issue that when receiving UDP multicast on a windows PC with multiple LAN interfaces, sometimes even interface has been specified in config, it still cannot receive multicast input.
This is because IGMP message is not correctly sent to selected interface.
To solve this problem, we need to manually add relative routing.
For example, we want to receive multicast 224.0.1.5 on a interface with IP 192.168.0.100, we need to use command route add 224.0.1.5 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.100 to manually add route. And use command route print to verify.
Then we will be able to receive UDP multicast from desired interface.
