Standards are good. I like standards. I was not
aware that SO_REUSEPORT was that obscure. My
programming instructor made it sound like every OS
supports it. I guess he was wrong. Is there a Linux
equivalent to SO_REUSEPORT?

I have written other unicast programs on Linux and
sftp'd them to HP-UX, compiled, and they ran great.
The only change I have to make between Linux and HP-UX
is in the Makefile. I have change the following line:
INCS= -I. -include /usr/include/errno.h #to use fedora
I comment out the -include on the HP-UX and everything
is great.
This multicast application was based on its TCP
brother. The only difference is removing TCP and
installing multicast support.

All of those macros are used in the multicast.c file I
was given.

The wrapper I used has a function to set the TTL and
the loop values. I set the TTL to 3 and the loop to
0.
Thanks,
