Multicasting is used by WebLogic to communicate between servers in a cluster. Basically, all servers in a cluster listen for messages at a specific multicast address. When a server wants to send a message to the cluster it sends the message to that address and all of the servers listening for messages will receive it. As far as that error goes, I would probably ignore it if it only happens at shutdown. It is probably just a message about try to use the multicast socket after it has been closed. ------------------
