How to join source specific multicast group in C# (IGMPv3)

Question

We have a C# application that can join and receives data from a multicast group. This works well. We now want to support IGMPv3 and be able to specify the IP of the source w

Answer 1

The link states SocketOptionName.AddSourceMembership, you are using AddMembership.

Answer 2

For anyone struggling with source multicast

static void StartListner(IPAddress sourceIp, IPAddress multicastGroupIp, IPAddress localIp, int port)
{
    Task.Run(() =>
    {
        try
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Starting: "  + sourceIp + " - " + multicastGroupIp + " - " + localIp + " / " + port);

            Socket socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);

            IPEndPoint localEndpoint = new IPEndPoint(localIp, port);
            socket.Bind(localEndpoint);

            byte[] membershipAddresses = new byte[12]; // 3 IPs * 4 bytes (IPv4)
            Buffer.BlockCopy(multicastGroupIp.GetAddressBytes(), 0, membershipAddresses, 0, 4);
            Buffer.BlockCopy(sourceIp.GetAddressBytes(), 0, membershipAddresses, 4, 4);
            Buffer.BlockCopy(localIp.GetAddressBytes(), 0, membershipAddresses, 8, 4);
            socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.IP, SocketOptionName.AddSourceMembership, membershipAddresses);

            while (true)
            {
                byte[] b = new byte[1024];
                int length = socket.Receive(b);

                Console.WriteLine("PORT: " + port + " : " + Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b, 0, length));
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    });
}
