Chapter 20. Broadcasting
In this chapter we look at one of the advanced features of the UDP protocol—its ability to address messages to more than one recipient via broadcasting. This chapter introduces this technology and develops a tool that makes it easier to work with from Perl. We end by enhancing the Internet chat client from Chapter 19 to allow it to locate a server at runtime using broadcasts.
