Feature #8073: Add multicast support to Rinda::Ring*

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)
• Target version: 2.1.0

[drbrain (Eric Hodel)]

This patch adds multicast support to Rinda::Ring.

If the addresses list for Rinda::RingServer or Rinda::RingFinger contain a multicast address then a multicast socket will automatically be created and used.

Rinda::RingServer#initialize was changed to accept three arguments, but in a backwards-compatible manner.

Rinda::RingServer#shutdown was added.

Tests for socket creation were added.
