It seems that the writer of this article does not have a good grasp of English and/or of writing in general. I would prefer an article written by a native speaker who can construct a grammatically correct sentence.
PCI and PCI Express Multicast discussion is entirely missing from this article- it would be useful to include at least a pointer to this important feature for multi-computing architectures and switches. -- bvh
I managed to find a little information on this japanese development, yet most links point to 404. Is this technology more than just a legend? What happened to the IBM implementation? Is there an XCAST for IPv4 at all? Do implementations only exist for FreeBSD? --- SymlynX 04:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Update: XCAST appears to be an IP Multicast compatible API that explicitely lists the distribution tree rather than using the regular mechanisms of IP Multicast. Yet it seems to do a multicast type of distribution. Hard to tell if this is properly placed here or rather in the IP Multicast article. What do you think? Should we mention it at all if it doesn't seem to be neither available nor in use? -- SymlynX 16:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
In a protocol extension numbered XEP 0033 XMPP authors claim the word multicast for a syntax sending one message to multiple recipients in an equivalent way to SMTP's Cc: headers. If this isn't improper use of the word multicast, we must also mention SMTP being a multicast protocol as it operates exactly in the same way. Opinions? -- lynX
Is it possible to do multicasting with TCP? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.180.136.16 ( talk) 22:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
