Multicast Sockets
Sample Chapter from Professional .NET Network Programming

In this chapter, we will create two Windows applications using multicasting features. With one application it will be possible to chat with multiple systems, where everyone is both a sender and a receiver. The second application – in the form of a picture show – demonstrates how large data packets can be sent to multiple clients without using a large percentage of the network bandwidth.
In particular, we will:
Compare unicasts, broadcasts, and multicasts
Examine the architecture of multicasting
Implement multicast sockets with .NET
Create a multicast chat application
Create a multicast picture show application

We finish it off by describing the creation of a multithreaded network application./b]
