solution is to add a broker that can maintain a longer lifetime to ensure
delivery.  If you add brokers you may not need multicast at all.

Isn't that what the 'linger' option is supposed to solve? We set that to 3
seconds on the sender. Is it still possible the subscriber is requesting a
retransmit after the sender has already terminated?
Remember that we are actually seeing the packets in tcpdump on the
receiving host. That lead us to assume that it's unlikely that retransmits
are needed. Are we wrong to assume that?
