RDMA_JOIN_MULTICAST(3) Librdmacm Programmer's Manual RDMA_JOIN_MULTICAST(3)NAME
rdma_join_multicast - Joins a multicast group.
SYNOPSIS
#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>
int rdma_join_multicast (struct rdma_cm_id *id, struct sockaddr *addr, void *context);
ARGUMENTS
id Communication identifier associated with the request.
addr Multicast address identifying the group to join.
context User-defined context associated with the join request.
DESCRIPTION
Joins a multicast group and attaches an associated QP to the group.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno will be set to indicate the failure reason.
NOTES
Before joining a multicast group, the rdma_cm_id must be bound to an RDMA device by calling rdma_bind_addr or rdma_resolve_addr. Use of
rdma_resolve_addr requires the local routing tables to resolve the multicast address to an RDMA device, unless a specific source address is
provided. The user must call rdma_leave_multicast to leave the multicast group and release any multicast resources. After the join opera-
tion completes, if a QP is associated with the rdma_cm_id, it is automatically attached to the multicast group when the multicast event is
retrieved by the user. Otherwise, the user is responsible for calling ibv_attach_mcast to bind the QP to the multicast group. The join
context is returned to the user through the private_data field in the rdma_cm_event.

RDMA_BIND_ADDR(3) Librdmacm Programmer's Manual RDMA_BIND_ADDR(3)NAME
rdma_bind_addr - Bind an RDMA identifier to a source address.
SYNOPSIS
#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>
int rdma_bind_addr (struct rdma_cm_id *id, struct sockaddr *addr);
ARGUMENTS
id RDMA identifier.
addr Local address information. Wildcard values are permitted.
DESCRIPTION
Associates a source address with an rdma_cm_id. The address may be wildcarded. If binding to a specific local address, the rdma_cm_id
will also be bound to a local RDMA device.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno will be set to indicate the failure reason.
NOTES
Typically, this routine is called before calling rdma_listen to bind to a specific port number, but it may also be called on the active
side of a connection before calling rdma_resolve_addr to bind to a specific address.
If used to bind to port 0, the rdma_cm will select an available port, which can be retrieved with rdma_get_src_port(3).

Hi,
I`m trying to do some multicast programming, and i`m looking for a C-function to convert an Interfacename to an IP-address or/and a C-function to convert an Interfaceindex to an IP-address.
I need it for the mcast_set_if(int sockfd, const char *ifname (!), u_int ifindex(!)) function by... (2 Replies)
Hello all,
I have the following question:
if you join a multicast group (with setsockopt() and IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP) and specify INADDR_ANY as network interface to join on, the kernel is supposed to choose which interface to use (if there are multiple network interfaces, of course).
Does... (2 Replies)
How can I assign multicast ip address to my Sun server. I need this configuration to set up weblogic in cluster mode. This setup needs a multicast IP address where the managed servers can broadcast their heartbeats.

On HP-UX, we want to exchange data via multicast, there happen to meet a problem: sometimes the receiver that has joined the group can not receive the multicast data, but the recvfrom call returned no error. We have reconfig the network and added the default the route, but still can not fixed it,... (0 Replies)
We have a solaris 9 box which is likely not communicating with the other host in the multicast group.
executing ifconfig -a shows MULTI_BCAST Flag on interface ce0

On Solaris OS, We use the following command to config the multicast address for NIC in order to process the multicast packets:
# route add 228.228.228.228 10.101.10.2
Where " 228.228.228.228 " is the multicast for specified NIC ip 10.101.10.2 .
Also use the netstat -nr, the above set could... (0 Replies)
Hi please help,
theoretically I',m interested in starting a streaming service using multicast IP service. I'd like to know how do I get an IP address that I can send my data too? (please don't just point me too Internet Assigned Numbers Authority as ive been there and it just seem to state... (1 Reply)
