Multicast sockets get some ink in the September issue of Linux Journal.
I haven't tried it, but apparently it's a simple configuration choice to
enable multicasting in your kernel configuration (and, of course,
rebuild the kernel). If you plan to do any routing of the multicast
packets, you'll need to install a daemon, mrouted, that does the heavy
lifting.
