     mcastsend [-l hop_limit] [-i interface] [-s scope] [-h] address port

		 fault, kernel will decide.

     -s scope	 Specify the hint in order to decision of source IP address to
		 send packets.	By default, global scope is applied.  If you
		 don't specify interface, mcastsend ignores this option.
		 scope takes one of the following numeric:

		 1    node local
		 2    link local
		 5    site local
		 14   global
