Detailed Description

Multicast Class. This class bypasses CAVERN's standard method for establishing connections and provides the user with direct control of multicast connections.

Member Function Documentation

void CAVERNnet_mcast_c::disableInstrumentation ( )

Disable the logging of latency and inter-message delay. Note: in order for this to work, all clients that subscribe to the same multicast address must also disable their instrumentation or else the bit stream will become confused. By default instrumentation is disabled except for Bandwith measurements.

void CAVERNnet_mcast_c::enableInstrumentation ( )

Enable the logging of latency and inter-message delay. Note: in order for this to work, all clients that subscribe to the same multicast address must also enable their instrumentation or else the bit stream will become confused. Enabling logging prepends timestamp data that is used to compute latency. By default instrumentation is disabled except for Bandwidth measurements.
