emcast | multicast toolkit | Mehr ... |
A multicast toolkit for distributed/peer-to-peer applications that require multicast communication. It includes the program emcast, a generic multicast utility (like netcat), and the library libemcast, a generic multicast library. Emcast supports IPv4 multicast (IM) and can easily support almost any end-host multicast (EM) protocol. The EM protocols supported are Banana Tree Protocol (BTP), Internet Chat Relay (IRC), and STAR (centralized TCP). Emcast is pronounced em-cast. |
