Client/Server Multicast API

[nazgulero]

Hello all,


I am fairly new to C, and I am trying to write a client/server API
for multicast. I have come across the script below, but for some
reason, the server does not get any of the multicast traffic from the
client, so I am afraid that somewhere there might be a mistake in the
script. Would anybody care to have a quick check ? Never mind the
French comments, I ´borrowed´ the script from a French website...


// Server code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>


#define GROUP "239.137.194.11 1"
#define PORT 55555
#define TAILLE 512


int main()
{
int sockfd;
struct sockaddr_in servaddr;
struct ip_mreq imr;
int len_serv;
char message_recu[TAILLE];


memset(message_ recu, 0, TAILLE);


len_serv = sizeof(servaddr );


sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
if(sockfd < 0)
{
perror("Problem es lors de l'ouverture de la socket ");
exit(1);



}


memset(&servadd r, 0, len_serv);
servaddr.sin_fa mily = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_po rt = htons(PORT);
servaddr.sin_ad dr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

if(bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, len_serv) < 0)
{
perror("Problem es lors de l'association de la socket a un port ");
exit(1);



}


inet_aton(GROUP , &(imr.imr_multi addr));
imr.imr_interfa ce.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

if(setsockopt(s ockfd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSH IP, &imr, sizeof(imr))

< 0)
{
perror("Problem es lors de la demande de JOIN ");
exit(1);



}


if(recvfrom(soc kfd, message_recu, TAILLE, 0, (struct sockaddr
*)&servaddr, &len_serv) < 0)
{
perror("Problem es lors de la lecture d'une donnee ");
exit(1);

}


printf("%s\n", message_recu);
close(sockfd);


}


// Client Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>


#define GROUP "239.137.194.11 1"
#define PORT 55555
#define TAILLE 512


int main()
{
int sockfd;
struct sockaddr_in servaddr;
char message[TAILLE];


memset(message, 0, TAILLE);
sprintf(message , "Coucou");


sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
if(sockfd < 0)
{
perror("Problem es lors de l'ouverture de la socket ");
exit(1);



}


memset(&servadd r, 0, sizeof(servaddr ));
servaddr.sin_fa mily = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_po rt = htons(PORT);
inet_aton(GROUP , &(servaddr.sin_ addr));

if(sendto(sockf d, message, strlen(message) , 0, (struct sockaddr
*)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr )) < 0)
{
perror("Problem es lors de l'envoi du message ");
exit(1);



}
}


Your help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Sorry, wrong newsgroup. Three of the headers above are part of the C
language, the other six are non-standard extensions provided by your
particular compiler/OS combination and off-topic here. Standard C
does not provide any built-in support for any sort of networking.

You need to ask about this in a platform specific group, for your
specific UNIX variant.

Perhaps news:comp.os.li nux.development .apps if you use Linux, or
generically news:comp.unix. programmer.
