Hi,

The problem is that I cannot use special broadcasting address
because most switch/router does not allow them to pass (at least here :-).

So, I have to - as I said - find way to work around this problem.

Thanks.

Afaik broadcast is one single send and everybody listens.

IIRC a special broadcasting address is used where everybody listens.

I never done TCP myself but it feels very wrong to to resend the same
message for each receiver.
