Bug#163592: ITP: netcast -- tool for multicast data transmission
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
http://netcast.sourceforge.net/
>From the above url:
"netcast is a tool that allows one to transmit data from one source in the
network to multiple sources, at full network speed, using multicasting. This
is similar to broadcasting, only that multicasting may also work over network
larger than one LAN. Simple multicast wouldn't do in many cases, when
synchronisation is needed and netcast does simply that - enables transmission
that is synchronised and does not require N times bandwith for N identical
transfers. This should be of great use in situations such as installation of
systems on multiple computers - you can just send a single disk image to all
clients, and with netcast you can send it to all of them at one time, fast :)"
