Is there anybody who knows if it's possible to send a message specifing a
generic address.

I'm not talking of multicast, I'm just wondering if it could be possible
to send a datagram without specifing a destination address.

This type of datagram should be interpreted as: the first host that receives
the datagram is the destination host...


Thanks for any help.
