This page describes the Multicast Test, a Coherence tool for testing multicast traffic from one node to another. You may find this useful when troubleshooting a clustered installation of Confluence.

In order to run the Multicast test, you need to download the Coherence for Java from Oracle's website. You will need to sign up for a free Oracle account and sign the license agreement, before downloading the file.

The Multicast Test comes as a script called multicast-test, which you will find located in the bin folder in the above zip file.

Instructions on how to run this script file can be found in the Coherence documentation. You may like to go straight to the subheading called 'Example' in the guide, where there is an example on how to use the multicast-test script.

Icon
The Multicast Test will use the multicast address of 237.0.0.1:9000 by default. Confluence creates a unique address based on the cluster name that you enter during setup. As such, you should include the -group flag in your multicast testing to ensure your tests are broadcasting across the same address as your Confluence nodes.
