Hi Michael,
Thanks for doing that. IT should make this test much more stable.

There is a nio test, java/nio/channels/DatagramChannel/Promiscuous.java
that follows a similar pattern. Should it be updated in a similar way?
I notice that test uses a "reserved" multicast address, which applications
are not supposed to use. Maybe, routers won't forward those packets either.
I think I'd prefer to leave that test as it is, for now, especially
seeing as it
hasn't failed.
Related question:
java/net/MulticastSocket/Test.java uses "224.80.80.80".
Could that be changed as well without affecting the semantic of
the test?
I have been trying to find out how to fix this test so that it
pass on Mac. I was almost happy to have succeeded until I
tried when under a VPN, where the IPv4 test started failing :-(
I am wondering if using one of those unassigned addresses
instead of what we currently have could be considered?

Looks good to me as well...
