how to use multicast
Hi, we have a couple of applications running on computers at a few different points across an ethernet network. These applications nead to send data back and forth at regular intervals, and we're trying not to load down the network. I am told that "multicast" is the right way to send IP messages from one source to multiple destinations. But I don't know how to get started implementing such a scheme. The only inter-application communication I have implemented across a network is using the WinSock control, using UDP or TCP.
Does anybody have some advice on how I can get started trying to implement a "multicast" scheme?
Thanks in advance!
