The library aims to make robust multicast communication more accessible for network application developers.
Key Features:
  • High-level API for IP multicast sockets
  • Abstraction of group management and reliability
  • Written in C for performance and portability
  • Simplifies complex network programming tasks
Use Cases:
  • Developing network applications requiring multicast data distribution
  • Building reliable multicast services for local or wide area networks
Alternatives:
