Multiple Interface: mulitcast will be all disabled while some interfaces don't support multicast
I tried to use the multi-interface feature on tag 0.8.0beta5.
For the one device, I've used the following interfaces:
<NetworkInterfaceAddress>lo,wlp0s20f3</NetworkInterfaceAddress>
Now I have another device connected to the wireless interface, but they can't communicate with each other (Run HelloWorld Example)
Here is the error log:
1622625595.240258 [0] Helloworld: interfaces: lo udp/127.0.0.1(q1) wlp0s20f3 wireless udp/192.168.0.13(q9) virbr0 udp/192.168.122.1(q9) docker0 udp/172.17.0.1(q9) br-f6a98a0de13e udp/172.18.0.1(q9) br-5f9a4b33a253 udp/172.20.0.1(q9) br-8a0b6724be2a udp/172.19.0.1(q9)

1622625595.240304 [0] Helloworld: selected interface "lo" is not multicast-capable: disabling multicast
It seems like it found that loopback interface does not support mulitcast so it disables the mulitcast function in all interface.
Based on suggestions from @eboasson, here are some workarounds:
- Enable muliticast in loopback
- Use
<AssumeMulticastCapable>lo</AssumeMulticastCapable> - Use peers to communicate
