esp8266-udp's Issues

Create code for testing multi-cast with reply from server

Need to create testing code that sends multi-cast from the ESP8266 to the node server. The node server should then send a reply to the sender directly.

This code will be ported to the sensornet project where it will be used for allowing the sensor devices to "ask" for the IP address of the server. This will eliminate the need to configure the devices with the server's IP address.

NOTE:

Multi-cast IP Addresses :
There are specific multi-cast IP addresses(IPv4 in this doc) that can be used for broadcasting. They are -

224.0.0.1 and any reasonable port number. There can be two or more listeners per address as long as they do not use the same port number.

Move source other than *.ino

Source files should be relocated to /src/applib. Leave the project root as clean as possible.
