UDP broadcast is deprecated in general, because it triggers every network interface on the LAN regardless of whether it’s interested in that packet. UDP multicast solves that problem by defining multicast addresses that interfaces can register interest in, so an interface only triggers when a multicast packet on that address arrives. WiFi supports UDP multicast. —Jens _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
