Hi,
We recently installed a satellite data receiver which transmits
data over a Multicast address (224.10.10.10). I have assigned
the receiver an IP address on our Class C address, and it is
attached to our network switch.
While this configuration allows any of our Linux machines to
receive and process the data, I have found that the receiver's
packets are being received by all of our systems on the network,
according to tcpdump. This may also be responsible to some strange
instances of "bind:address already in use" when I attempt to restart
some network services, such as HylaFAX.
Can anyone give me advice as to how to restrict the Multicast packets
being sent on 224.10.10.10 so that they don't hit all the machines--only
the two or so that I want? I don't really understand much about
Multicast so I'd welcome any assistance.
The receiver is preconfigured by the vendor to use Multicast so reconfiguring
it locally is not an option.
Thanks!
