gollark: I don't think it's an actual *network* issue as much as a "my thing is not performing the right incantations to make the kernel do what I want" issue.
gollark: I found a program which does similar multicasting-y stuff and works fine, but I don't understand what it's actually doing because it's in a very different language with different semantics.
