Hi folks, I'd like to use udp-sender with async and a unicast address instead of multicast so that unicast at the MAC layer is actually used. Ive tried using the pointopoint switch, but I get the message "pointopoint mode set, and 0 participants instead of 1".
Is there a way to do this with udpcast?
Thanks kindly. J

This is to be expected. Pointopoint only works if the receiver is known; however that is only possible if he may register with the sender.
Async on the other hand means that there is no back channel by which the receiver may make itself known to the sender

Yep. Thanks for the reply Alain. That assumes the back channel is not a human supplying the info. ;-)
Is there a way to override this and provide the necessary receiver info/registration? Or do I need to modify the source?
Cheers, J

No, unfortunately, it is not (yet) possible to manually add participants in such a way

Not sure whether I mentioned this already, but you could always start up udpcast as follows:
udp-sender --async --mcast-data-addr 10.0.0.2
i.e. specifying a unicast address as multicast.
