[REBOL] Re: Multicast and UDP?

You can, see the core 2.5 release notes. However multicast is poorly
supported sometimes. It depends on policy and hardware of your ISP and
backbone providers.
Alternatively, check out rugby 4 (www.rebolforces.com/~erebol)

I've got my "Internet Core Protocols" book out, and am considering how I
might implement a UDP multicast server in REBOL (and of course, the matching
client).
