Oops, I see I filed it as a Defect. Should be a new feature of course.
And here is a more elaborate description:
Adds multicast support for Windows and Mac/Posix.
With multicast, clients choose to subscribe to packets by subscribing to a
multicast group. The benefit over sending by broadcast, i.e. setting the
packets to be received by everyone on the network listening to a specific port,
is that it enables routers to use network bandwidth more economically, mostly
useful when streaming lots of data.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address
In this implementation, listening to an IP address in the multicast range
(224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255) automatically enables multicast on the
receiving socket. For multicast sending, no extra work has to be done, you can
just specify the multicast address as the destination address.
The patch also adds an optional -bindaddress argument to OscReceiveTest, which
enables the user to either bind to a specific local address or to a multicast
group address as described above.
