Convert IPv4 multicast addresses to IPv6 multicast addresses in an IPv6 stack
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JGRP-1189
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-1189
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Feature Request
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Fix For: 2.10
When we run a config with mcast_addr="239.5.5.5" in an IPv6 stack, then the
channel won't be created due to the sanity check exception.
Solution: map the IPv4 multicast address to an IPv6 equivalent, e.g.
239.5.5.5 --> FF0e::239.5.5.5, as outlined in [1]
