Python: UDP Multicast

Tambahkan routing

sudo su
route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0
ifconfig eth0 allmulti

Script Transmitter

import socket

MCAST_GRP = '224.1.1.1'
MCAST_PORT = 5007

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)
sock.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.IP_MULTICAST_TTL, 10)
sock.sendto("robot", (MCAST_GRP, MCAST_PORT))

Script Receiver

import socket
import struct 

MCAST_GRP = '224.1.1.1'
MCAST_PORT = 5007

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
sock.bind((, MCAST_PORT))
mreq = struct.pack("4sl", socket.inet_aton(MCAST_GRP), socket.INADDR_ANY)

sock.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, mreq)

while True:
  print sock.recv(10240)
