[erlang-questions] Switching and Routing protocols

[Torben Hoffmann]

Got the reply going a bit to fast.

The code should look like this:

gen_udp:open(?PORT_NUM_TX_MULTI,
             [binary, {active, true},
             {ip, SomeIP},
             inet,
             {multicast_ttl, 255},
             {multicast_loop, true},
             {multicast_if, SomeIP}]),

This works for real!

Cheers,
Torben
