Udpcast enables installation through UDP multicast.
UDPcast is an excellent file transfer tool that allows you to transfer data simultaneously to many destinations on a LAN. This can be extremely useful when deploying large PC networks in classrooms or offices. One of the major benefits of using UDPcast over other methods like nfs or ftp is that it utilizes Ethernet's multicast abilities thereby reducing the time it takes to install multiple machines.
What's more, this software is released under the GPL 2.0 license which means it is free to use and developers can modify it to suit their needs. Additionally, UDPcast can be started from the included linuxrc boot disk when installing OS or from the command line for other purposes.
Overall, UDPcast is a powerful and free tool that can help you save time and effort when deploying large networks. It is definitely a software package that you should consider downloading and using if you are in the IT field.
