This is often done using multiple TCP sockets instead of multicast.


I'm working on a walkie-talkie app and broadcasting is _the_ feature. I would just like to say something and have everyone else hear it, without having to establish multiple socket connections.

Granted, there could be just a handful of clients in the vicinity but what if there are thousands? Unlikely, I know but still...

Also, wouldn't sending just one packet to the multicast address keep power consumption low?
