> Currently, due to [1], we use a {{MulticastSocket}} to _receive_ multicast packets, but a {{DatagramSocket}} to _send_ multicast packets (and send and receive unicast packets).
> The reason was that we needed to get the IP address and port of the sender of a message. Due to a programming error, this was not the case earlier.
> Now, I changed the code to use a {{MulticastSocket}} instead of a {{DatagramSocket}} to send multicasts (and send/receive unicasts).
> Works perfectly and performance (4 nodes) is about the same.
> In addition, we can now call {{MulticastSocket.setTimeToLive()}}, even on Windows, preventing the exception trying to set {{ip_ttl}} on Windows (java.net.DualStackPlainDatagramSocketImpl.setTimeToLive()).
