You're right. Multicast is very good for thing like that. But the catch is  
that the environment must be prepared to use it.
I'm trying to find a method to do it on any standard devices.  
Unfortunately, so far I must use multiple PC machines. It looks like my  
idea would require to do some modifications in TCP/IP stack which is  
beyond my reach. Maybe the approach is wrong.
