"Sockets" are the typical interface for networking in most programming languages, not necessarily Python (though it's probably an easy one to get into). In the end, the point is that multicast is usually a building block for something else (VoIP? IPTV? LAN chat?) and usually not a goal in itself, so even if you want IGMP specifically it might be easiest to implement something that exists and not start blank. | |
