Re: [TCLUG:2352] Multicast and 5.2



If i remember right, multicasting allows a single packet to be recived by
all machines on a network, it's very usefull in some situations, like
net-radio, that way a bunch of machines can recive a live datasteam, but
not take up bandwidth for each connected box.i

Thank You,
