Folks, I'm just wondering if anyone here has used P2P Networking. Chapter 45 of the old book Professional C# 4 and .NET 4 <http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-C-4-0-and-NET-4.productCd-0470502258.html> devotes 17 pages to the subject, but I won't have time to read it until bedtime tonight.
Why I ask is ... I'm looking for a painless way of getting multiple components of an app suite to freely broadcast messages amongst themselves. I've used UDP for this before, but it has size limits and you have to deal with low level things like multiple MAC address and so forth. At a glance, P2P looks promising for "free broadcasting", but it seems to require configuration of the environment for discovery and resolution. Perhaps there are other techniques I'm not aware of. *Greg K*
