I’m interested in this too, so if you get any offline replies or find something on your own, please report back here! > I did find https://github.com/jdiehl/async-network > <https://github.com/jdiehl/async-network>, but it appears its a datagram > service only.

There are a number of protocols/libraries that provide that now, including WebRTC. I’m guessing that AsyncNetwork broadcasts by sending to a UDP multicast address. Now, back in the olden days (~2002-2004) Stuart Cheshire cautioned me that sending too many multicast packets over WiFi would cripple network performance, because the base station drops down to a very low-bandwidth mode to ensure all the clients receive the packet. So it was actually faster to send a separate unicast packet to each subscriber. I have no idea whether this is still true. —Jens
