Renzo also described something new (in the socket() arena): the multi-reader, multi-writer is just not available in IP.

How is that different from a multicast group?

Good question. I don't know much about multicast IP. It's a bit new for me. I knew it uses Martian addresses! After a little reading, I now know that it does allow many to many communication.

Renzo's IPN is a local protocol--you can't multicast to localhost.
