Applications unable to receive multicast packets

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Applications running on server RHEL 6.1 receives multicast packets from client, there are 150 processes running on server and only 70 processes of them could receive multicast packets, it seems like 70 is the maximum number of multicast related processes, as long as processes increase beyond 70, it doesn't work.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 VM
