[eq-dev] Reliable multicast (RSP) problem

[cxs]

Hi,
I am new to Equalizer and want to configure Equalizer to use RSP connection
(reliable multicast). I wrote a simple eqc file listed below and ran the
"eqply" using the command "eqPly.exe --eq-listen 239.255.12.34:RSP
--eq-client -m rockerArm.ply" in node "192.168.1.101", and "eqPly.exe
--eq-config rsp.eqc -m rockerArm.ply" in node "192.168.1.102".
However, the client side ("192.168.1.101") crashed after the other side
launch. Did I make any mistakes in the eqc file or command line parameters?
Many thanks and best regards,
cxs

You always need a unicast connection in addition to multicast. Multicast is only used when it's worth it, i.e., for object data distribution.

With the current Equalizer version you shouldn't need eq--listen anymore, the client will set up the connections from the config file.


Cheers,

Stefan.
