Okay...
I'm *slowly* moving forward on this, but still am not sure of the
underlying technology/protocols...
If I run liveCaster (multicast) on our network of ~4000
computers...do all those 4000 computers see packets? For instance,
assuming that a computer is doing absolutely nothing network wise, but
were to watch their ethernet, would they see a pretty constant '56k of
traffic' hitting their machine?
