>From the above url: "netcast is a tool that allows one to transmit data from one source in the network to multiple sources, at full network speed, using multicasting. This is similar to broadcasting, only that multicasting may also work over network larger than one LAN. Simple multicast wouldn't do in many cases, when synchronisation is needed and netcast does simply that - enables transmission that is synchronised and does not require N times bandwith for N identical transfers. This should be of great use in situations such as installation of systems on multiple computers - you can just send a single disk image to all clients, and with netcast you can send it to all of them at one time, fast :)" Netcast is distributed under the terms of BSD license.
