Multicast address

Hello!

It was not possible to post in the socket forum. So i sent it to here instead.

I get:

java.net.SocketException: Not a multicast address

When i use MulticastSocket.

How do i know what a multicast address is?

I have tried 224.17.17.17 and it seem to be an acceptable address.

But not 192.17.17.17.

Whats the difference? Can somebody explain to me thanks.

Multicasting is done over Class D IP addresses
