Ok, so your suggestion that multicast is an alternative to ICMP is wrong. You need some kind of connection and disconnection mechanism whether or not multicasting is used.

What the fuck are you rambling on about now? Multicast explicitly does NOT require the server to know ANYTHING about the clients. You're just twisting my words to prove that you're smart and I'm dumb. Go away troll.

    No, it's simply a question that I don't quite know how it works. I'm going from what you said, and you told me that defunct clients don't get dropped from a multicast group automatically. That means a disconnection mechanism is needed. Was I misinformed?

      Questions end with question marks, you were trolling
        "Are you saying that multicast drops unreachable machines automatically?", "Was I misinformed?"

        I asked "Are you saying that multicast drops unreachable machines automatically?", to which he replied "No,", so I concluded a connect/disconnect mechanism would be needed (to avoid unnecessary traffic). If something's isn't correct, talk about the issue. { Resorting to personal attacks }--

        The more I read about it, the more I think his answer (and thus my conclusion) is wrong, but I haven't found a definitive answer yet.

        If you have something relevant to say, either answer the pending question or explain what you disagree with.

        Update: Added 2nd and 3rd para.

      I suppose that where we got crossed is that I was just trying to provide the OP with avenues of exploration, but I'm by no means any kind of authority on multicast, which is why I provided the link to the OP. You definitely misinterpreted what I (mis?) said and, at the time, I was sure it was deliberate, which is why I was pissed off and called you a troll.

      You're a bright boy and I have a bad temper. I expected that you would have had some insight into multicast, or would at least read something about it on wikipedia or an RFC (which I linked to for you) before you misinterpreted me and put words in my mouth.

      If my expectations were wrong and you were just being a human and didn't understand, then I apologize for the Ad Hominem attack. If not, well, if the shoe fits...

      Anyhow, I do respect your intellect and understanding of Perl though you do have a tendency to be a bit contentious. Even if you were trolling a bit, you're not actually a troll.
