is Netty is able to do UDP Broadcast ? (MulticastSocket)

[Iain McGinniss]

I think you should be able to cover all cases using the  
OioDatagramChannelFactory, and if case 2 is unicast, you can do that  
using a NioDatagramChannelFactory. NioDatagramChannelFactory doesn't  
support multicast in 3.1.0 GA, this is listed as a limitation in the  
javadocs.
