    This module depends on a number of other modules:

      Socket6 version 0.19 or higher.
      IO::Socket::INET6 version 2.51 or higher.
      IO::Interface version 1.01 or higher.
      Socket::Multicast6 0.01 or higher.

    Your operating system must have IPv6 and Multicast support.

  INTRODUCTION
    Multicasting is designed for streaming multimedia applications and for
    conferencing systems in which one transmitting machines needs to
    distribute data to a large number of clients.

    IPv4 addresses in the range 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255 are reserved
    for multicasting. IPv6 multicast addresses start with the prefix FF.
    These addresses do not correspond to individual machines, but to
    multicast groups. Messages sent to these addresses will be delivered to
    a potentially large number of machines that have registered their
    interest in receiving transmissions on these groups. They work like TV
    channels. A program tunes in to a multicast group to receive
