When this option is set to 1
, and a UDP socket joins a multicast group on an interface that is not accelerated, the UDP socket is handed-over to the kernel stack. This can be a good idea because it prevents that socket from consuming Onload resources, and may also help avoid spinning when it is not wanted.
When set to 2
, UDP sockets that join multicast groups are always handed-over to the kernel stack.
