You will want to use multicast. The multicast address range is 224.0.0.0 thru 239.255.255.255. 224.0.0.0 is reserved, so don't use it. Also, multicast has a default time to live (TTL) of 1 hop, so it will be limited to devices on the same subnet. I don't know if FlightGear handles receiving multicast, tho.
