Programming question.
I have a customer who wants to use the socket API provided with PW32.
He has an app that runs on the vax and sends data in 802.3 format using
the Decnet multicast address. He wants to know if it is possible to use
the socket api from PW32 to send data to the decnet multicast address,
and would like a simple example or two. There are examples in the SDK
but none that pertain to this.
Can anyone help me?

| 195.1 | it should, but i didnt check | EDSCLU::NICHOLS | Wed Apr 02 1997 18:46 | 14 | |
NOTE: I am NOT in the PATHWORKS group my answer would be yes, since the winsock2 api supports this as part of the 'standard' set of functionality. See WSAJoinLeaf() for more information. (there is an sdk note in here, i believe it has a pointer to the api spec. www.stardust.com comes to mind, but i didnt check) sorry, i dont have any examples. ymmv, especially since i can not comment with any authority on wheter the underlying stack supports this --roger | |||||

Winsock2 DECnet does not support multicast. WSAJoinLeaf() etc. are not
implimented. If there was a way to do multicast DECnet, perhaps one of
the older PATHWORKS socket apis supports it.

| 195.3 | no multicast support in stack | JAMIN::REICHLEN | Thu Apr 03 1997 12:23 | 4 | |
The stack does not support multicast therefore none of the APIs do.
