I agree on the 'not natively implemented in the most common o/s' part' but
doesn't IRDP use Multicast instead of Broadcast?
I know that IRDP uses the all-systems multicast address (224.0.0.1) which is
sort of a broadcast in a multicast group but I think it still uses multicast
for the communication.
Let me know.

Broadcast intensive and not natively implemented in the most common o/s
would be my guess.

I've read several times that IRDP allows hosts to discover "gateway"
routers. But every time I read that it's followed by the statement that it's
seldom used. Does anybody know why? It seems like it would come in handy for
failover purposes.
