2.5. Why don't you use IP Multicast?
IP Multicast is an extension of the Internet Protocol, the protocol
that make the Internet work. It supports multicast at a low-level
protocol and is, in theory, more efficient than End-host Multicast.
However, IP Multicast is not widely available. In fact, the original
version of Jungle Monkey used IP Multicast, but we abondoned it
because we couldn't find any users who had it.
2.6. Why not use IPv6 Multicast?
IPv6, the next generation of the Internet Protocol, supports
multicast. We will consider using it once IPv6 is more widely used,
but don't hold your breathe.
"
(BTW, it's not very clear if they ever used any kind of multicast for file
transfers, or only for communications).
