Hello all,
I have a question related to Multicast and IPv4 mapped addresses on AF_INET6
sockets. Can we use IPv4 mapped multicast addresses alongwith to
IPV6_JOIN_GROUP? In general does INET6 multicasting allow sockets of
AF_INET6 communicate over IPv4 multicast addresses?
Currently when I look into the code, it doesn't seem like considering the
IPv4 compatible/mapped addresses at all.
If anyone knows about it then please respond. Else if you have a suggestion
about some other group then please let me know.
Thank you in advance!
