    //   Provides Dgram_Mcast interfaces for CLASSIX IPC communications.
    //
    // = DESCRIPTION
    //   This class represents multiple end-points for message delivery.
    //   All the remote ports are belong to the same group identified by
    //   a stamp.
    //   It uses the broadcast mode provided by ipcSend() to deliver
    //   messages.
    //
    //   This class is most likely used in the server.
