[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1804) UDP: sending of multicasts fails after an ifdown / ifup cycle

Bela Ban updated JGRP-1804:
---------------------------

    Description: 
After an ifdown / if up cycle, sending of multicast messages over mcast_sock fails with an IOException (no such device). Sending unicast datagram packets works.

SOLUTION:
Catch the IOException on the send and set the interface again ({{MulticastSocket.setInterface()}}). This was confirmed to work.
Perhaps count the number of failures and only reset the interface when the count exceeds a threshold
