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.
