I have an application that wants to deliver the same data reliably
to a bunch of locations at once, where "bunch" is large enough that
using N ftp's at once is impractical.  Are there any standard
references to broadcast-oriented protocols?  I assume this has been
done before; getting acks back without collision storms should be
non-trivial, so I'd rather not re-invent.
		Thanks;
