master_fiscovery_fkie: integrated pull request #24 Thanks for creating the PR to @garyservin and @mikeodr! The change lets you define an interface by ~interface, ROS_IP envar or append the interface to multicast group like 226.0.0.0@192.168.101.10. The master_discovery then binds to the specified interface and creates also an unicast interface for active requests on communication problems or if ~robot_hosts are defined. Now you can also disable the multicast communication by setting ~send_mcast to false. In this case the requests are send to hosts defined in ~robot_hosts.
