| Uses its own IP multicast socket to send and receive discovery requests/responses. Can be used in
conjuntion with a non-UDP transport, e.g. TCP.
The discovery is assymetric: discovery requests are broadcast via the multicast socket, and
received via the multicast socket by everyone in the group. However, the discovery responses are sent
back via the regular transport (e.g. TCP) to the sender (discovery request contained sender's regular address,
e.g. 192.168.0.2:7800).
