All things related to multicast

[Bob Riddle <>]

this works great!  now, the only remaining "feature" is to get  rcBridge 
to allow you to "choose" the port you want the stream sent to, as well 
as the IP address of the machine!

p.s.  it was sneaky changing the subnet desigination from "255" to "*" 
... !

The remote-control means the person hosting the bridge does not need to manage the bridge for every request, users can do it themselves, anytime. On the client side, nothing is needed, you can just listen to a unicast stream. If you want something smarter, check out rcb-forward, which will re-multicast on your local subnet and manage the "tunnel(s)" for you.
