In looking at IP multicasting (RFC 1112) and its potential use in a project of ours, a couple of questions came to mind: Is there a "reference" implementation? For SunOS or 4.3BSD? How can we obtain a copy? Is there any interest or work in progress to extend the registration protocol to allow 3rd party joins? That is, to convey the IP address of a system to be added to a multicast address. We are thinking of a coordinating system that would best know which slave systems should be in which groups and would register and deregister them appropriately. Thanks in advance for any help.
