I've got a basic UDP broadcaster working now to inform other P2P clients. This obviously only works on the local segment. Any suggestions how I could broadcast outside the segment. Multicast in python seems quite clunky and unreliable ?
If you look at the P2P systems out there, none of them discover each other. You have to give them a starting node, which knows about other nodes, etc.
