I had to write a cmd line tool to verify multicast connectivity in a
routed network.
It consists of
MC_CL.lpr that sends out MC on a given adress and port and
one or more MC_SV.lpr instances on different hosts that listen to the
MC and echo back a response that is displayed by the MC_CL.
MC_CL is for Windows, MC_SV for Raspbian.

Perhaps it's useful for someone.

I forgot to mention that it has to be compiled with the Ararat Synapse
library.

But I have to add a question from my side: This code is tested in a
local LAN (broadcast domaine):

Could there be any pitfall when using it in a routed network, i.e.
when different subnets are involved?

Thank you.
