Dog question

[Michael K. Kibler]

We have several 4D systems running dog. I have been monitoring
the broadcast packets from dog and out of curiosity wanted to know how
the program communicates information ( locations, missiles, etc. ).
It appears to set up a socket with a broadcast address and sends/receives
through the socket. Is there anything else special that it is doing?
Any way to improve performance? ( It would be nice if an implementation
without broadcasts could be devised that would not severly degrade the
network when more players enter the game. )


Thanks in advance.
