I am designing a system which will communicate with a number of
clients over a local wireless connection. The number of clients
could number into the 100s. The data I need to send to the
clients is rather large and could reach into the 100s of
megabytes.
I have a similar system that communicates over a radio network.
In this system, I blast out the data and afterwards query each
device for what packets are still required. Systems which are
not asking for a particular packet keep it if needed or iginore
it if they already have it.
Using TCP, what is the prefered method to handle a situation like
above so that data can be broadcasted rather then a unique
transfer to each device?
Thanks,
Eric
