The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to define "group" IP addresses. The group IP address is then used as a destination address on a single packet, and causes the packet to be received by all of the hosts in the group. See RFC-1054: "Host Extensions for IP Multicasting", by Steve Deering. -- -- Frank Solensky / Racal InterLan Red Sox magic number: 75
