Re: Force multicast to start

Hi!
This Fog Project is the best software in my life!
Just one please:

a Start button for multicast session start.

Many times some machine can’t join the multicast, for example: 30 machine, 29 ok, 1 error and we just waiting for timeout.

Thank you very match!

There isn’t a simple mechanism to tell multicast to just start.

There is a time limit and the number of hosts to start.

So if the first element checks in, it will wait for the timeout to occur before starting the session.

It will do this for each element.

I set ours to 5 minutes.
The setting is located here in FOG Trunk (pre FOG 1.3.0):
FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Multicast Settings -> FOG_MULTICAST_MAXWAIT
