Hi,

If I subscribe to multiple, very active, multicast groups is there any
kind of starvation?

let say there are the following streams : A,B,C and D and I receive
data continuously

using epoll for finding the ready descriptors would there be a round
robin like read from the sockets or all the packets from A's buffer
and then B/C/D buffer etc?

thanks,

If data is being received on all the sockets continuously, epoll()
should tell you that all of them are ready to read. If you read from
all the sockets that are ready, there won't be any starvation.
