| 3 | h2. Goals |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | * Make a program which will listen for multicast message. |
||
| 6 | 5 | Greg Burri | * It must be work between sub-networks (vlan). |
| 7 | 2 | Greg Burri | * It should be also able to send. User can type a message and all other peers will print it when it is sent. |
| 8 | 1 | Greg Burri | * Test it with some computers. |

| 11 | |||
| 12 | There is no support to UDP multicast in QT4.5 according this bug issue : http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=57952. |

| 14 | 9 | Greg Burri | But it's possible to use "setsockopt()":http://linux.die.net/man/2/setsockopt with _QAbstractSocket::socketDescriptor()_. See http://linux.die.net/man/7/ip and options for multicast like _IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP_. |
