I'll run some tests on bridgeport, but it may be a day or so. Is it
finding the interface for the broadcastclient? Is this only a problem
for a combination of broadcast client and broadcast server. Is this also
a problem for multicast or did you not check that? I may not have tested
the combination together so it may require additional logic.
