You previously tried MulticastMain from version 2.3.1 with and without 
the tracer and you saw failures without the tracer. Is this correct?

Can you try running MulticastMain from version 1.7.0 with and without 
the tracer as well? From your description it doesn't sound like you have 
replicated the test in exactly the same way. You will need to use the 
tracer from the 1.7.0 release for this test.

Do you have any way of repeating this test with the client and server on 
the same LAN or on the same host, in order to eliminate the network as a 
cause of the problem? I'm assuming that all your tests are still 
traversing the NAT infrastructure.

Another option is to inspect a network traffic dump. We will need the 
binary capture file produced by wireshark or tcpdump to collect all 
traffic on the port you use for AMQP (1434 in your case) on the client 
and on the broker. Please don't send large binaries to the mailing list 
though. Rather place it somewhere where it can be retrieved from.

It is impossible to say without understanding the cause.
