I have the following code to read a multicast message coming from the network for the specified IP + port
private static void ReceiveMessages(int port, string ip, CancellationToken token)
{
Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
using (var mUdpClientReceiver = new UdpClient())
{
var mReceivingEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, port);
mUdpClientReceiver.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
mUdpClientReceiver.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress, true);
mUdpClientReceiver.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
mUdpClientReceiver.Client.Bind(mReceivingEndPoint);
mUdpClientReceiver.JoinMulticastGroup(IPAddress.Parse(ip), 255);
while (!token.IsCancellationRequested)
{
byte[] receive = mUdpClientReceiver.Receive(ref mReceivingEndPoint);
Console.WriteLine("Message received from {0} ",mReceivingEndPoint);
}
}
});
}
I have two network adapters, of which I have data coming to this multicast ip + port (confirmed by two wirehark instances that track each network adapter). I see on the wires a lot of traffic going on these ports + Ip) for both network cards.
The problem is that on my console I see only messages coming from one network card.
I double-checked netstat, I have no other software listening on my port:

So why do I only get traffic from one of the two network cards?
EDIT
I even tried the following:
private static void ReceiveMessages(int port, string ip, CancellationToken token, IEnumerable<IPAddress> ipAddresses)
{
foreach (IPAddress ipAddress in ipAddresses)
{
IPAddress ipToUse = ipAddress;
Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
using (var mUdpClientReceiver = new UdpClient())
{
var mReceivingEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(ipToUse, port);
mUdpClientReceiver.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
mUdpClientReceiver.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress, true);
mUdpClientReceiver.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.Broadcast, 1);
mUdpClientReceiver.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.DontRoute, 1);
mUdpClientReceiver.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
mUdpClientReceiver.Client.Bind(mReceivingEndPoint);
mUdpClientReceiver.JoinMulticastGroup(IPAddress.Parse(ip), 255);
Console.WriteLine("Starting to listen on "+ipToUse);
while (!token.IsCancellationRequested)
{
byte[] receive = mUdpClientReceiver.Receive(ref mReceivingEndPoint);
Console.WriteLine("Message received from {0} on {1}", mReceivingEndPoint,ipToUse);
}
}
});
}
}
