一,基础概念
数据报文在网络中的点对点传输方式通常有以下三种:
单播(Unicast): 数据报文从一个发送端到一个接收端的通信方式。
组播(Multicast): 数据报文从一个发送端到多个接收端的通信方式。
广播(broadcast): 数据报文从一个发送端到所有接收端的通信方式。
组播的实现需要设置组播地址
在IPv4中组播的地址范围是:224.0.0.0到239.255.255.255。
二,组播的具体实现过程
发送端:
step.01:新建一个socket套接字1用于往组播发送数据报文。
step.02:在sockaddr_in结构体中初始化组播的端口号。
step.03:设置IP_MULTICAST_LOOP等组播选项。
step.04:使用IP_MULTICAST_IF选项来定义组播接口。
step.05:调用sendto()接口往组播中发送数据报文。
接收端:
step.01:新建一个socket套接字2用于从组播接收数据报文。
step.02:设置SO_REUSEADDR选项以允许多个接收端去接收同一端口的数据报文。
step.03:调用bind()接口让套接字2绑定到组播指定的端口号。
step.04:使用IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP选项,加入指定的组播。
step.05:调用read()接口从组播中接收数据报文。
三,组播属性设置
使用类型为SOCK_DGRAM的套接字,基于UDP协议来实现组播传输过程。
使用setsockopt()接口来设置与组播相关的属性。
setsockopt接口规范:
#include <sys/socket.h>
int setsockopt(int socket,
int level,
int option_name,
const void *option_value,
socklen_t option_len);
#返回值:成功后返回0,否则返回-1并设置对应的错误码
setsockopt()接口可以为组播设置以下属性:
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP:加入指定的组播。 IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP:退出指定的组播。 IP_MULTICAST_IF:设置组播中发送数据报文的接口。 IP_MULTICAST_TTL:设置组播中数据报文的生存时间(TTL)。 IP_MULTICAST_LOOP:设置组播中数据报文的副本是否回传。
