Roger's odd programming question of the week

[Rick Sivernell]

Roger


  As per my source, Unix Network Programming", the following excerpts:

On IPv4 & IPv6 work similarly, The app on host, receiving host, starts & creates a
UDP socket and binds to port 123, and joins the multicast group. MC on a single lan
is simple, 1 host sends a MC packet & any interested host receives it, the benifit of
MC over broadcast is reduced load on all interested hosts.

there are many more pageson this. does this help?
