How to ACCEPT multicast connection with iptables's rule?

Question

I obtain this row with iptables logging option:

IN= OUT=eno49 SRC=192.168.0.72 DST=224.1.0.2 LEN=196 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=5 ID=53310 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=9100 DPT=8100 this packet is DROPPED

I think this is a multicast connection.

Which is the rule that accept this packet?

You have to specify you want to accept multicast. For example, based on your logs :

iptables -A OUTPUT -o eno49 -p udp --dport 8100 -m pkttype --pkt-type multicast -j ACCEPT

'--sport 9100' is necessary?

Nothing is necessary but -m pkttype --pkt-type multicast, I just wanted to give an accurate example.
