How To Verify that Multicast Communication Works Correctly Between Machines the Coherence Cluster Members Are Running On
(Doc ID 1936452.1)
Last updated on NOVEMBER 01, 2024
Applies to:
Oracle Coherence - Version 3.4.0 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
This document explains by example how to use the multicast test utility shipping with Coherence.
By default Coherence uses multicast communication for messages supposed to be sent to more than 25% of the cluster members.
Coherence switches off multicast communication if well-known addresses (WKAs) had been configured.
So, it is not required to run the multicast test if well-known addresses are going to be used in the target environment.
Further details about the Coherence multicast test utility and about troubleshooting multicast issues can be found at: Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Coherence, 12c (12.1.3), 4 Performing a Multicast Connectivity Test
