Hi
Basic OSC confusion here: I'd like to run a server that keeps track of
time and shares that to a number of clients, each of which run on their
own, but with access to this common, global time.
However all the examples I found with [sendOSC] or [tcpsend] suggests
that the sender connects to *one* client, which isn't what I want. I'd
rather like to have the server broadcast to any number of clients that
can pick up this information if they like.
Have I got OSC all wrong? How to best achieve what I need?
It's not really OSC, more the transport layer. With [udpsend] you can
broadcast or send to a multicast address
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address).
Multicasting may be more efficient as it only sends to clients that
connected to the multicast address. Broadcasts go to every machine on
the subnet. Multicasting is usually more of a pain to get working.
