[Openais] Use of unicast socket

[Sabharwal, Atul]

Hi Steve,

I noticed that the GMI library listens to a unicast as well as a
multicast socket
As given in Bindnet and McastPort.  Why does it listen to the unicast
socket ?
There is no unicast messaging API. Also, if its for internal use, should
there
Not be a UnicastPort.

Also, noticed that both the SrcPort & DstPort for multicast messages are
set to
McastPort. This is a bug and would not allow for multiple instances of
apps
Using GMI. Also, if GMI was configured for a cluster which had a NAT
module
In the middle, this would be a problem. Although, I am not aware of use
or
Feasibility of IP multicast across NAT modules but theoretically, it
should
Be possible.

Thanks,

Atul
