Finding if Multicast is supported

Linux - - Posted on October, 30 at 12:09 am

One way to easily find if mulitcast is supported in a *nix system is to issue

netstat -gn

which returns the membership groups of the mulitcast addresses in the system

e.g. output
Group Memberships: IPv4
Interface Group RefCnt
