Yes, "real" broadcast/multicast only works for UDP.</p>

<p>tcp-server broadcast question<br>
<br>
hi,<br>
<br>
am i right that when tcp-server does 'broadcast' a message,<br>
actually it will generate as many messages as there are
connected clients?<br>
<br>
i'm asking this because i have to send a few bytes to a number
of tcp-clients frequently,where for each client the data are
different.<br>
my idea was to broadcast an overall package, and the clients
sift out there specific bytes.<br>
<br>
but if tcp-server does indeed multiply the broadcast message,
it's probably more efficient /overall 'cheaper' to send a
separate message for each client containing only their specific
bytes.<br>
