Just for completeness, adding instructions for increasing Windows OS's UDP receive/send buffer size in the UDP Multicast Setup might be easier for Windows users.

Corresponding to modifying /etc/sysctl.conf in Linux, in Windows one can modified registry by copying the following content in a LCM_UDP_buffer_limit.reg file, double-clicking it (changing send/receive buffer size to 2MB) and finally restarting the computer:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\AFD\Parameters]
"DefaultReceiveWindow"=dword:00200000
"DefaultSendWindow"=dword:00200000

The build instructions at lcm-proj.github.io don't include the change to CMake, but it looks like build-instructions.md has already been updated.

Perhaps all that is needed is to run the scripts to generate the HTML, and then push the result to the github-pages repo?
