UDP transport to attempt to validate ability to receive own multicast
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-857
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-857
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Bela Ban
            Priority: Minor


One category of errors JGroups users see is improperly configured multicast on the interface the transport is using.

Could the UDP transport help here? Perhaps send a multicast message during the channel connect phase, and block a short period on a future waiting to receive your own message.  If the message isn't received, log an ERROR with a nice helpful diagnostic.

Probably set a timeout for how long to wait with a default that disables this.
