I've tested a multicast traffic between VMs which worked fine to me. The test made between two VMs running on different hosts, connected to the same switch.
OK, I found a secure way to test multicast communication: (see http://www.linuxproblems.org/wiki/How_to_check_Multicasting) # VM_A: start the receiver VM_A# java -cp jgroups-3.3.3.Final.jar org.jgroups.tests.McastReceiverTest -mcast_addr 231.12.21.132 -port 45566 Socket=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, bind interface=/127.0.0.1 Socket=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, bind interface=/10.1.2.3 # VM_B: start the sender, send message "test" VM_B# java -cp jgroups-3.3.3.Final.jar org.jgroups.tests.McastSenderTest -mcast_addr 231.12.21.132 -port 45566 Socket #1=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, ttl=32, bind interface=/127.0.0.1 Socket #2=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, ttl=32, bind interface=/10.1.2.4
test
# VM_A will receive the message test [sender=10.1.2.4:45566] So this basically means that multicast is working. For some reason, VRRP/CARP is NOT working. This means pfSense HA and *BSD (u)CARP is not usable right now. Any hint? I'm out of ideas right now. Thanks - Frank
