    <p>The short answer is you use <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/603852/multicast-in-python">multicast packets in python</a>. I believe there are also python bindings for <a href="http://avahi.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">avahi</a>, which implements "ZeroConf" aka mDNS/DNS-SD, which is implemented on top of multicast and would save you having to reinvent the wheel as well as being more standard.</p> <p>Multicast sits somewhere in between unicast (packets going to one host) and broadcast (packets going to all hosts) in that it allows host (via applications running on them usually) to register an interest in certain multicast groups. Multicast traffic can cross routers as well as switches, with appropriate support and the idea is that a minimum spanning tree gets built for sending packets to all subscribed hosts. In IPv4 multicast uses the 224/4 subnet. For IPv6 this is ff00::/8. In ethernet multicast addresses are mapped onto MAC addresses (i.e. have the multicast bit set to 1 in the MAC address), which makes efficient filtering of multicast streams possible.</p> <p>Routers running RIPv2 for example use multicast to discover other neighbouring routers and share their routes without bothering hosts which have no interest in RIP.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking#Apple.27s_protocol:_Multicast_DNS.2FDNS-SD" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mDNS/Bonjour/Rendevouz</a> is an approach to automatic service discovery that uses one multicast group to share DNS style messages listing available services on a LAN.</p>

    1. COI can't accept this anwser before 6 minutes but will. In the meantime, can you telle me more about it ? What are multicast packets? What is "ZeroConf" aka mDNS/DNS-SD?

    3. COOf course I'm googling Andy. What do you think? To quote another OP "google is like iterating on a list, while SO is like using a hash mapping". So if I can have the o(1) anwser, why not ask for it during while I do my o(n) look up?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
