Multicasting with LPC2368

 Multicasting with LPC2368

Dear Sirs

I'm doing a design review to develop and audio multicast system using Ogg Vorbis and reading about tech specs of TCP/IP Stack included on Keil I have some questions :

a) Does is possible to use the stack to estabilish a full multicast connection ? E.g. with IGMP and so on.

b) My project needs to use up to 2 multicast connections and 1 TCP, 1 UDP connection (to change parameters to slaves boards). Does the LPC (32K RAM) sufficient to deal with these connections ?

The framework is 1 server (audio incoming and control)
and up to 64 slaves....

Regards

Jean Fernandes

 RE: Multicasting with LPC2368

yes the RAM should be sufficient for this type of application. Multicasting is supported by RL-ARM since quite a while. See: http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/rlarm/rlarm_tn_mcasting.htm

The number of slaves really is only a network issue (not a software issue).
