Channel.MulticastAddress Property

Returns or sets the String value for the multicast address of the station.

Remarks

The IP address used for a multicast should fall within the range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. Addresses in the 239.*.*.* range are recommended for intranets. Addresses in the 224.*.*.* range should be avoided, because they are reserved for low-level protocols. You can create multiple programs destined for the same IP address; however, you should avoid simultaneously multicasting programs to the same IP address.

' get the second station
