No ping to a multicast address from Windows
On my computer, when I try to ping to a multicast address, none of them return a response.
On the other hand, there is a Unix server I know that does have ping to these addresses.
Is there a way to add a route from my computer to this one, so that I can use these ad开发者_运维问答dresses?
No, ICMP is not typically used with multicast because it is a prime source for DoS amplification. Similarly multicast doesn't tend to be that useful as you need multicast enabled and configured routers to cross LAN segments.
See this answer if you are wanting to use multicast pings for discovery of local machines:
