I'm trying to make a client/server Java App. Both client and server will be running on the same wi-fi network. Server will be running on a specific port that client is aware of.
I am planning to send a multicast message from client through the network for that specific port to discover the server. However, I'm not too sure how I can find out which IP in my network received my message.
Do I need to create a socket on the client and listen to incoming packets once I send my multicast message in case server replies back?
Thanks in advance.
