RSRV now honors the EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST to bind to only +the provided list of network interface. +Name searches (UDP and TCP) on other network interfaces are ignored. +For example on a computer with interfaces 10.5.1.1/24, 10.5.2.1/24, and 10.5.3.1/24, +setting "EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST='10.5.1.1 10.5.2.1'" will accept traffic +on the .1.1 and .2.1, but ignore from .3.1
+ +libca and RSRV may now use IPv4 multicasting for UDP traffic (name search and beacons). +This is disabled by default. +To enable multicast address(s) must be listed in EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST for clients +and EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST for servers (IOCs should set both). +For example: "EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST='0.0.0.0 224.0.2.9' EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=224.0.2.9". +
+ +Please note that no IPv4 multicast address is officially assigned for Channel Access by IANA. +The example 224.0.2.9 is taken from the AD-HOC Block I range.
