- *      PURPOSE:
- *      Broadcasts fan out over the LAN, but UDP does not allow
- *      two processes on the same machine to get the same broadcast.
- *      This code takes extends the broadcast model from the net to within
- *      the OS.
+ *	PURPOSE:
+ *	Broadcasts fan out over the LAN, but old IP kernels do not allow
+ *	two processes on the same machine to get the same broadcast
+ *	(and modern IP kernels do not allow two processes on the same machine
+ *	to receive the same unicast).
  *
- *      NOTES:
+ *	This code fans out UDP messages sent to the CA repeater port
+ *	to all CA client processes that have subscribed.

+ *  NOTES:
  *
  *	see repeater.c
