Say I have a process that only produces messages, it is not interested in receiving messages from other group members. Does it really need to join the multicast group before writing to it?
I can imagine scenarios where it depends on the multicast routing protocol being used… but if you have details that would be great.
No you don’t. Joining the group is only required for reading it.
