I have written an ipv6 multicast program on windows xp sp3.
But a problem bothers me a lot. The sendto function implies no error, but
I can't capture the packet using wireshark. I am sure the filter is right.
Thanks in advance.
And the
code is as follows:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h> /* for printf() and fprintf() */
#include <winsock2.h> /* for socket(), connect(), sendto(), and recvfrom() */
#include <ws2tcpip.h> /* for ip_mreq */
#include <stdlib.h> /* for atoi() and exit() */
#include <string.h> /* for memset() */
#include <time.h> /* for timestamps */
#include <pcap.h>
#include <Iphlpapi.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "Ws2_32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "wpcap.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "Iphlpapi.lib")
