Hi, I have a question regarding broadcasting messages over Appletalk.
The situation is as follows. I have several copies of an application
running on a single network. One of these copies wants to send the
same message to all the others. How do I do this?
I've seen that setting the node ID in my outgoing message to $FF sends
the message to each node. However, how does it get to my particular
socket? If such a broadcasted message goes to all sockets, how do I
distinguish it from broadcast messages sent from anyone else? Help!
