Small test case update. The test has failed a couple of times where it appears to be receiving input on a multicast socket which could not be generated by the test case itself. The test happens to use multicast groups that are assigned by IANA, and globally routable. So, it is conceivable that other entities are sending packets picked up by the test. The test also does not protect against other instances of itself running on different hosts
at the same time, though that doesn't seem to be the cause of this failure.
The change is to use non-routable multicast groups and to add some hopefully unique data to the test in case the test might be running on multiple hosts on the same subnet simultaneously.
