I cannot remember where we found the information, but I think we looked in
the code...

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