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?
