Multicast brings the following advantages: * Location independence - the client doesn't need to know where the server is. * Fault tolerance and load sharing - the servers decide between themselves how to handle requests whether primary-secondary or sharding of topic namespace. You can transparently bounce servers without updating state in the clients. -- Steve-o
