Multicast vs. broadcast – Thinklogical Router Interfaces User Manual
Page 7
In the future, newer models may have more I/O ports than can be contained in one data block. In that
event, the blocks will be split up into several pieces, and the first and last port numbers will be used to
reassemble that data.
The data in the status block is stored in big-endian format. This means the MSB of the data is stored first,
and then the LSB. This is NOT the standard for x86 based data storage.
The other ports must be opened as a TCP connection and then have the data read. After reading the data,
you MUST then close the connection.
There are several useful network applications running that may aid in monitoring the hardware. Three of
these are: SNMP, NTP and syslog. These are described in subsequent sections.
Multicast vs. Broadcast
Version 4.5 of the API and version 2.05 of the LOS manager now offer the option of using multicast in
place of broadcast for sending status messages. Multicast will use the same ports as broadcast; 17564 for
the API and 17560 for the LOS manager. The default multicast IP address is 239.255.13.9.
References in this document to broadcast will be valid for multicast.
