Multicast and UDP?

Hi - I'm working my way thru an idea with REBOL/View/Pro, and it involves using Multicast and UDP to handle communications. Is this possible with REBOL? 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). I'm just thinking it might be neat to be able to use multicasting for chat purposes, or even network games implemented in REBOL. And - if one were so inclined, one could write a REBOL streaming media client/server!!! - Porter Woodward

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.
