Multicast

This is just about the tiniest library one could possibly write to discover & broadcast other services on your network in Node.js. I have provided a examples in the /examples directory to check out.

• Basic server / client discovery and logging of their IP addresses + port.
• Server / client discovery and negotiating a websocket connection using Socket.io.

This library is super light weight and not designed for production. It was mostly for a learning experience with DGRAM's.
