[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1832) Update McastSenderTest/McastReceiverTest to bind the multicast sockets the same as JGroups

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1832:
--------------------------------

I want McastSender/ReceiverTest to be independent from {{JChannel}}; ie. it should not need to be configured with an XML file. 

# Yes, I can number messages and detect lost or reordered messages. Perhaps similar to {{iperf}} where duration or number of packets and/or packet size can be defined
# No. This is not possible because Java doesn't provide access to raw sockets
# This is not a feature for McastSender/ReceiverTest as it requires a configuration. But perhaps a different program could do that, let me investigate
# Also beyond the scope of this simple program

> JGroups binds multicast sockets using specific MulticastSocket constructors depending on the operating system (to avoid crosstalk issues).
> McastSenderTest and McastReceiverTest always bind the socket using the basic MulticastSocket(port) constructor.
> In order to more closely test the way JGroups will be sending and receiving the packets, these tests will be updated to bind the sockets the same way.
