I have several nanos living in a very busy network, with HD video over multicast in the same (unmanaged) switch.

When I enable the multicast streams, the nanos freeze after a couple minutes. Is there any way to make them more robust against that, or to ignore multicast packets?

Thanks.

Are you registering a FIFO to read this multicast data?

If so you MUST read the incoming packets off the FIFO or you will use up all the packet memory...

Yes, I did have a FIFO but I was not listening to the multicast port.

I think I found the problem. The UDP multicast was in a low priority NIC of the computer the same that I use to talk with the nanos. Increasing the priority and the metrics of the NIC solved the problem.

My theory is that as it was a low priority NIC receiving a big amount of data it accumulated packets and sent them to the nanos in "streams" overflooding the buffers. The only way to get them back was cycling power.

Anyway, I hope that helps somebody else with a similar problem.

Any opinion will be welcomed.
