    Description

      In addition to using dotted-decimal IP addresses and symbolic names for bind addresses, the following values can also be used:

      • GLOBAL: picks a global (public) address
      • SITE_LOCAL: an address starting with 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x
      • LINK_LOCAL: a link local address, ie. starting with 169.x.x.x or 254.x.x.x
      • NON_LOOPBACK (default if bind_addr is not defined): picks any non-loopback address

      The address is picked from any of the interfaces (which are up) on the host.

      Examples:

      #1: <UDP bind_addr="GLOBAL"../> // picks a global IP address if available. If not, falls back to picking any non-loopback address

      #2: -Djgroups.bind_addr=SITE_LOCAL // picks a site local IP address
