[Udpcast] how to by-pass HELLO message mechanism through -m option ?

[Selçuk Cevher]

Hi All,

I want to use udpcast in unicast (or pointopoint) mode.

However, I do not want udp-sender to determine whether to use unicast or
multicast based on the number of connections coming from the clients since I
want to test udp-sender along with another application on the receiving side
other than udp-receiver (In this framework, there won't be any connections
coming from the clients).

Based on above, I want udp-sender to use the unicast destination IP address
provided by the user from the command line or it may be even hard-coded into
the source code.

I tried to use -m option to specify a unicast address instead of a multicast
address to "trick" udpcast.

But, it did not like that. I guess that it got some kind of negative
feedback from the existing udp-receiver clients, and aborted the transfer
since the clients were expecting a "proper" multicast address after -m
option.

Any ideas to overcome this issue ?

Thanks.
