1.1.1

Table Of Contents
Address used to discover other members of the distributed system. Only used if mcast-port is non-zero. This attribute
must be consistent across the distributed system.
Note: Select different multicast addresses and different ports for different distributed systems. Do not just
use different addresses. Some operating systems may not keep communication separate between systems that
use unique addresses but the same port number.
This default multicast address was assigned by IANA ( http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses ). Consult
the IANA chart when selecting another multicast address to use with SQLFire.
