SocketBinding.createMulticastSocket() not safe across platforms
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-8470
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8470
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: 7.0.0.M2

The usage of java.net.MulticastSocket is one of the areas where the JDK does a poor job of abstracting away the underlying OS. Patterns of MulticastSocket construction that work well on BSD-based OSs don't work on Windows and vice versa. SocketBinding.createMulticastSocket() should adapt the code used in JGroups for dealing with this.
