FYI:

Emcast is a multicast toolkit for distributed/peer-to-peer applications
that require multicast communication.  It includes the program "emcast", a
generic multicast utility (like netcat), and the library "libemcast", a
generic multicast library.  Emcast supports IPv4 multicast and can easily
support almost any end-host multicast (EM) protocol.  The EM protocols
supported are Banana Tree Protocol (BTP) and Internet Chat Relay (IRC).
Emcast is pronounced "em-cast".  Parts of emcast are licensed under the
GPL and LGPL.

Emcast is currently used by IDMaps and Jungle Monkey.

Emcast lives at: http://www.junglemonkey.net/emcast
