Hi all,

I wanted to send a follow up question regarding the development of the Idem for Multicast Packets feature. Based on the plan we have so far, it involves having one port be designated to send the packet, and two ports be designated to receive the packet. In order to send out one packet for the two ports to receive, it looks like this would require for all three ports to be on the same network and a 1-2 pairing configuration would be needed on the server. Is this the right approach for developing this feature? Would an alternate approach be better to avoid server reconfiguration such as sending out a multicast packet from each of the ports (two total packets sent out) and see if they each receive what was sent?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi all,

The Idem with Multicast Packets test will first create three groups of port combinations. The first group will have both ports be capable of receiving a packet. The second group will have one port be open to receive a packet and one be closed. The third group will have both ports be closed. Each of the ports will be pinged to ensure that they are reachable. Afterwards, a packet will be generated and sent to each of these groups, and it will ensure that the correct behavior of a failed or successful delivery occurs on each port.

Let me know if there are any comments or questions.

Thanks,
Dan
