Here's a great MSDN article about setting up a reliable UDP broadcast
(using only one port for many clients):

Hi Vadym,

You're probably right about that.

I was going to lookup the DirectPlay you mentioned when I found this FAQ
entry http://www.thezbuffer.com/articles/387.aspx. I guess I'll have to
go with the multiple sockets solution.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,
Robin Theilade

Actually multicasting is also happening on single address, multicast
address :8-). So, there is still
host/port couple out there.
