'Setup a multicast group using home wifi router for Linux operating system
I want to create a local multicast group using my home wifi router(TP link, TL-WR841N). I intend not to connect this router to the internet. I expect to create a multicast group using wifi router, where different Ubuntu OS(18.04 and 20.04) laptops can connect and share data. I want to transfer UDP packets in this multicast group using TP-Link router. I want to know how to create a multicast group, join and leave this group at will.
Below are a few commands that I tried:
$ sudo ip maddr add 224.0.0.1 dev wlp2s0
$ sudo route add -net 224.1.2.3 dev wlp2s0
I want to customize this multicast IP address, ofcourse in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
Let me know if you need any more information.
